[Fontconfig] Support font family name for each language

[Deokjin Kim]

Hello Akira,

Unfortunately, your recommendation doesn't work. (fc-match "Malgun Gothic":namelang=ko)
It returns "malgun.ttf: "Malgun Gothic" "Regular"", not "맑은 고딕".

Can I know when below feature is supported? (next release means "2.10.0"?)
Please consider implementing this feature. :)

Best Regards,
Deokjin Kim

Well, that feature will be supported in next release. if you want to
set explicitly, try this:

$ fc-match "Malgun Gothic":namelang=ko

Well, strictly speaking there are no way to pull only fonts that has
the localized family name for the certain locale because it's not
essential to find the best font out. you can try :lang=ko as the
pattern but it may not give you the comfortable result.
