Each font in the database contains a list of languages it supports. This is
computed by comparing the Unicode coverage of the font with the orthography
of each language. Languages are tagged using an RFC-3066 compatible naming

Fontconfig has orthographies for several languages built into the library.
No provision has been made for adding new ones aside from rebuilding the
library. It currently supports 122 of the 139 languages named in ISO 639-1,
141 of the languages with two-letter codes from ISO 639-2 and another 30
