You could try to set up a notifier and subscribe appropriate events for this 
notifier, which then can modify your system's font configuration.

See subscriptions.conf and man notifier in the CUPS documentation, and you 
may use the testnotify utility (probably you need to compile from the 
sources to get this utility) to inspect if the subscribed event 
notifications provide the information you are looking for.
