I always thought that it's one of the main purpuses of fontconfig, to
calculate the best matching font for the symbols that don't exist in
current...

I don't know fontconfig, but looking at the docs, it looks like you need
to call FcFontRenderPrepare or something like that and get a a list of
similar fonts to the one selected and use it.

Without fontconfig, this task is impossible for sure.
