The "font-needed" notifications implemented in bug 619521 uses script tag (I
believe it is http://www.unicode.org/iso15924/iso15924-codes.html). I guess it
would help if fontconfig supports that too e.g. font(:script=Khmr). Otherwise
we'll have to remap the script tags to language codes / package names...
