How so? I'm wondering about the feasibility of a hardcoded list. Right now,
we 'know' which fonts should be the default for non-dejavu languages (at
least, we set them up that way in comps), so why not add a quick hardcoded
provide for those 10-20 packages and just change that provide if the
preferred font infrequently changes?

Sure, it's ugly and manual, but it's a limited level of manual work that
shouldn't explode.
