I thought the problem mentioned was that applications were using lang to
restrict the presented list of available fonts in some context. I know
Mozilla does this when selecting preferred fonts for language groups; I
can believe that other apps also do this; perhaps we should find a way to
deprecate this activity. The Mozilla behaviour was inherited from the
core font listing techniques and so is not specific to it's interactions
with fontconfig.
