[Fontconfig] Disabling font X for language Y

[Stefan Baums]

> That's disturbing.  Perhaps Qt is doing something weird.

You bet.  Other bits of weirdness:

  - I specify the non-Cyrillic font "Bistream Vera Sans" (bold, 11
    point) for window titles, and KDE supplies Cyrillic characters
    from a serif instead of a sans-serif font (see attached
    screenshot).

  - I specify "Bistream Vera Serif" (12 point) as my default font
    in Konqueror, and for non-bold text KDE supplies ugly
    spaced-out Cyrillic glyphs from one of the Chinese fonts,
    whereas glyphs for bold Cyrillic text are apparently fetched
    from the same source as in Window titles (screenshot in
    separate email due to the list's message size restriction).

The most recent development snapshot (2.2.92) fails to build with
the attached error message.  The CVS version fails to configure
with the other attached error message.
