A fine idea assuming it does actually work, but unfortunately a proprietary
closed solution that requires paying a fee.  The secret sauce does appear to
lie in making 'hole-y' versions of the fonts, then having an easy way to switch
to them when rendering the print job.  As such the bulk of the work would lie
with the font designers producing the hole-y fonts and so it would be better
starting with them.  Someone like the Liberation font guys would be a good
place to start.  Once the fonts would be available, then some automatic font
substitution method would be needed which we would have to investigate whether
its best done or doable at app, Qt or CUPS level depending.
