I think that kind of logic is usually implemented in Pango, not
fontconfig. If you need to use fontconfig without Pango for this, you'd
have to split your text yourself according to the character ranges and map
these to "lang" properties for the match. But I think it's difficult to do
this with the same quality that is achieved by Pango.

I think so.
