Unfortunately this is not how it works. My suggestion was to apply the font
only to language names with otherwise missing glyphs. For example, the list in
the sidebar looks like this:

<ul>
<li class="interwiki-en"><a lang="en" hreflang="en">English</a></li>
<li class="interwiki-fr"><a lang="fr" hreflang="fr">Français</a></li>
<li class="interwiki-ja"><a lang="ja" hreflang="ja">日本語</a></li>
</ul>

Remove the current rule:

#p-lang ul { font-family: "Autonym", sans-serif; }

Instead use a rule set like this for all non-latin language names:

#p-lang a[lang=ja], #p-lang a[lang=th] { ... }

Selectors like this work in all browsers including very old ones. Problem
solved.

At least exclude the Wikidata "Edit links" item from the rule by applying it
only to items that are in an other language (this may be an other issue, please
tell me if I should split this):

#p-lang a[lang] { ... }

Besides, what was the problem in the first place? Don't you think all users
that are able and interested in a specific language have the proper fonts
installed? In think missing glyphs or rectangles are only visible to people
that aren't interested in these languages anyway. Again, I'm very sorry to say
that but this looks like a fix without a real world problem to me. I'm aware
that it may help a few people but the current way the font is used creates more
problems than it solves.
