Purely from a production point of view: if you have a document for which 
it is important the right fonts are available, making sure the fonts are 
available to whomever needs to compile it might deserve consideration 
too. So that rather than trying to "fix" the source, you throw a compile 
error that the user does not have the prerequisite fonts to accurately 
generate the document that was intended to be generated.

Just thinking along the original TeX idea that "If it compiles, the 
result is the same for every system it successfully compiles on".
