        <pre><family> tag is used for <alias> though, sometimes wants to add the family
conditionally, particularly for certain language. <alias> is capable to have
<test> elements but may be a good idea to have the lang attribute to <family>
as another syntactic sugar:

<alias>
  <family>serif</family>
  <prefer>
    ...
    <family lang="ja">MS Mincho</family>
    <family lang="zh-cn,zh-tw">AR PL ShanHeiSun Uni</family>
    ...
  </prefer>
</alias>

interpreted like:

<match>
  <test name="family">
    <string>serif</string>
  </test>
  <test name="lang">
    <string>ja</string>
