An alternative approach is to
route the user to a selection page like
this.
On
such a page, which is in HTML, you can
resolve the missing font issue by
presenting the text in graphic form.
I would not normally recommend
using text in graphics, but there
shouldn't be a big issue here, given
that this text doesn't need translating
and is perhaps less likely to be
searched for.
One thing to bear in mind,
however, is that you should route a
user to an alternative language and
(often) country site that doesn't
remove them from their current context,
ie. don't force them up to the home
page if they entered the site from a
link.
If
they go to a selection page like this, you
should return them to the same page (if
such exists) in the localized site.
