Yes the actual metadata in Fedora font packages looks like this:

$ rpm -q --provides sil-scheherazade-fonts
config(sil-scheherazade-fonts) = 2.020-1.fc21

font(:lang=pap-an)
font(:lang=pap-aw)
font(:lang=ps-af)
font(:lang=ps-pk)
font(:lang=pt)
font(:lang=rm)
font(:lang=rn)
font(:lang=rw)
font(:lang=sc)
font(:lang=sd)
font(:lang=sg)
font(:lang=sma)
font(:lang=smj)
font(:lang=sn)

font(:lang=uz)
font(:lang=vo)
font(:lang=vot)
font(:lang=wa)
font(:lang=xh)
font(:lang=yap)
font(:lang=za)
font(:lang=zu)
font(scheherazade)
sil-scheherazade-fonts = 2.020-1.fc21

all the font(foo) bits are generated at package build time by fc-query --format
'%{=pkgkit}'

The fontconfig maintainer stated at the time he would be amenable to evolve the
metadata contents if apps found missing bits once they started using this
