It's interesting idea. Who is the appropriate owner of
the blacklist? 

1) FreeType
2) Poppler (or other rendering library)
3) Applications using Poppler
4) some desktop environment configuration manager (like GConf)

As I've posted before, (1) is difficult, because the embedded
font in PDF may lack the reliable identifier.
