Installing fonts doesn't necessarily resolve the fontset configuration
problems, especially since no package can know what other fonts are
available on the end-user system.

So I'm not sure this has any relation to the question on
stackexchange, because that question was describing a very specific
situation where other fonts were involved (in unspecified ways).

(The reason that question got no answers is because it was asked in
the wrong place, btw.)
