This is used by QNX. If you try to use a font that doesn't exist. it
will default to a existing one, mappings can also be done from a font
config program.
My 2 öre is that you set up a kind of mapping table. By default there
are a few entries (Helvetica -> Arial etc), and you can ofcaurse add own
ones.
There should also be a default mapping, so it will use a specified font
if there is no rule.
Abiword should also display a warning, so that the user know it might
not be fully WYSIWYG, if the default mapping is used, so that the user
can 1) add a mapping for this font 2) Ignore and use default.
