BTW if someone could spend the time to write a SVG preview generator
that could be integrated in web sites and package generation
processes, that would be great.

The constrains are basically to generate the preview for a random
number of font files taken as input, with an SVG output that showcases
the main scripts the font files support (that means script detection
using fontconfig, heuristics to select the most interesting glyphs to
showcase, pangrams? and an svgz output small enough to be integrated
everywhere)
