The mapping could work on an individual glyph basis, or on the basis of character code ranges, e.g. a font package Times+CJK.fpack could be a file like this:
0x0000-0x00ff Times.font 0x0100-0xffff CJK.fontThis would allow you to combine several proprietary fonts into one of your own without violating any of their IP.
E.g. if you have a font with a nice Roman range but no CJK, and another font with an ugly Roman font range but which contains CJK, you could combine them into a single "font package" and use that as your default system font?
This could result in a "font substitution" effect which is efficient and also under clean and transparent control of the user.
