That seems like a problem for JS-driven display.

It's also the only way to avoid loading tons of unnecessary font data that sites link to. Note also that the spec has ways of specifying different fonts for different Unicode character ranges, so you literally don't know which fonts you need until you know what characters you're trying to deal with...

There are APIs being added to handle the canvas case, yeah.
