A missing piece from this puzzle might be the ability to download
individual glyphs on the fly and add them to a font. I suppose one can
get close in JavaScript by having a lots and lots of smaller fonts and
adding a whole font on the fly.

But there's always room for a javascrpt api to fonts later...
