I think it should be more clear what problem needs solving: Given a traditional Chinese document with a run of Japanese text, a property declaration such as `font-family: "Traditional Chinese Font", "Simplified Chinese Font", "Japanese Font";` should just work with glyphs from the appropriate script displayed, including characters with one code point but multiple, language-specific glyphs. Instead of using a language descriptor, a better approach may be to use a language exclusion descriptor. So, for the aforementioned "Traditional Chinese Font", one might declare something along the lines of `exclude-lang: "*-hans", "*-jpan"` in its `@font-face` rule and this would prevent it from being used to render text marked as `ja-jpan`, `zh-hans`, `zho-hans`, etc. This approach also avoids having to make a decision about how to label a font that contains characters from multiple languages. -- GitHub Notification of comment by patrickdark Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1744#issuecomment-363680363 using your GitHub account
