This won't solves anything due to the priority list as I said. for example:
% LANG=en_US.utf8 pango-view --text '<span lang="ja">日本語</span> test' --markup
--font "100"
This doesn't make any difference of result with/without lang tag if
wqy-bitmap-fonts is installed.

I agree with this. we should add it in own fontconfig conf for specific
languages.
