I suspect just disabling the blank checks would be sufficient;
applications wanting 'some' font to display a particular glyph are
probably better served by using 'sans' and expecting that the
environment will have already set that up to point to a set of fonts
which cover much of the code point space.

Anything more complicated will be harder to explain when it fails.
