  ==== Rationale ====
  
- Given the above noted dependencies, there seems to be a third alternative: create multiple FOText instances in the FOTree, which would lead to two separate TextLMs being instantiated as a part of FOP's "natural" flow. The different, separate TextLMs will, by design, trigger the correct relative alignment, and maybe solve other of the above mentioned complications of implemententing it in the layout-engine.

  The FOTexts' characters are already looped over many times, so it does not really matter ''where'' in the process the check for the presence of a glyph in the current font is inserted. The only thing that would really need to change is the point where the fonts are first loaded: much sooner than is the case with the current implementation, but only from the point of view of a ''single'' FOP run. The argument here is that this matters very little in ''multi-session'' contexts where the fonts are handled by the !FopFactory, and as such already loaded in 90% of the cases.
