[Fontconfig] most fonts don't support English anymore???

[Mike FABIAN]

Why is suddenly "en" missing in the "lang" output for fonts
like "Arial" and "FreeSans" which certainly support English?:

mfabian at magellan:~$ fc-list "Arial:style=Regular" family file style lang
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/arial.ttf: Arial:style=Regular,Normal,obyčejné,Standard,Κανονικά,Normaali,Normál,Normale,Standaard,Normalny,Обычный,Normálne,Navadno,thường,Arrunta:lang=aa|af|ar|ast|ava|ay|az|az-ir|be|bg|bi|bin|br|bua|ca|ce|ch|co|cs|cy|da|et|eu|fa|fj|fo|fr|fur|fy|gd|gl|gn|gv|he|ho|hu|ia|id|ie|ik|io|is|kaa|kk|kl|kum|ky|lb|lez|mg|mt|nb|nds|nn|no|oc|om|os|pl|rm|ru|se|sel|sh|sk|sma|smj|smn|so|sq|sr|sv|sw|tk|tn|tr|ts|tt|tyv|ug|uk|vo|wa|wen|wo|xh|yap|yi|zu

The only font left on my system supporting English is Code2000:

mfabian at magellan:~$ fc-list :lang=en
Code2000:style=Regular,Normal,obyčejné,Standard,Κανονικά,Normaali,Normál,Normale,Standaard,Normalny,Обычный,Normalan,Normálne,Navadno,thường,Arrunta
mfabian at magellan:~$

mfabian at magellan:~$ fc-list code2000 file family lang

That cannot be correct!
