@mandy314: Keep in mind that I was talking about my own stuff. I don't remember how bulletproof the fontconfig KUAL extension is, so YMMV if you're using that. The appropriate FC_DEBUG value & fc-match help figure these things out on fontconfig's side, but that leaves the mysteries of how the KF8 renderer actually honors those...

As for your examples, the mixed Publisher fonts thing can be handled safely with the fonts hack. Usually, the fallback is serif, and overriding that is safe. As for sans, the fallback override usually takes care of it.
