the bits and, possibly, sets the face name too from the -inkscape-face: extension CSS property which we will need if we really want to support arbitrary fonts beyond the limitations of CSS. (This may wait, but the infrastructure to support -inkscape-face: will be in place.)
Something to think about is how to cope with a conflict between -inkscape-face and the normal CSS font properties.
This is not much of an issue yet, but we will at least be forced to think about it more when we have better CSS support (for example, what if -inkscape-face is inherited, but different CSS properties are set locally?)
On a separate note, I think it would be worthwhile to preserve Pango font substitution in cases where none of the user-specified alternatives contain the desired codepoints, if we can, as well as how to deal with alternative fonts in the UI in the first place.
