That's correct. and you are referring the wrong document for your
purpose. that is for font configuration which users usually do
something with the config file. what you should look at is devel doc
and that says:

    lang           FC_LANG                LangSet Set of RFC-3066-style
                                                  languages this font supports

which is exactly what you want.

Hope that helps,
