You could PipeRead a shell that does something like this:

xlsfonts -fn $1 2>&1 | grep unmatched >/dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? = 0 ] ; then
  printf "SetEnv DefaultFont $2"
else
  printf "SetEnv DefaultFont $1"
fi

In the 2.5.x releases, there is the TestRc commmand.
It's possible that you could directly do this in Fvwm
using "Silent", "DefaultFont" and "TestRc" but I haven't tried it.
