Actually, it should have been something like:

 <alias>
   <font>
     <family>[genericname]</family>
     <langrequest>[loc]</langrequest>
     <langcover>[loc]</langcover>
   </font>
   <prefer>
     <font>
       <family>[fontname]</family>
     </font>
   </prefer>
 </alias>

to distinguish between lang as "the language I'm rendering for" and lang as
"the glyphs associated with the foo .orth"

Many many CJK fontconfig configuration bugs occur because lang (as a rendering
context) is confused with lang (as specific glyphs in a font)
