Just edit the lang field in the pattern.

But how do you set lang field to be exactly the current value of your
LANG/FC_LANG variable? I think the point is to make it dynamic rather
than a static value written to a local file.

LANG (as opposed to FC_LANG) *is* already used to provide a default value dynamically, provided programs use FcDefaultSubstitute which I think they all do.

(BTW- Akira- is there a special reason why applying the new string set needed to be done in FcConfigSubstituteWithPat in addition to FcDefaultSubstitute?)

In case you need a different configuration for individual programs and cannot modify LANG for those, i. e. as would be possible through FC_LANG, I suspect you could create a file like:

<fontconfig>
  <include>/etc/fonts/fonts.conf</include>
  <match target="pattern">
    <test name="lang" qual="all" compare="not_eq">
      <string>ja</string>
    </test>
    <edit name="lang" mode="prepend">
      <string>ja</string>
      <string>zh-cn</string>
    </edit>
  </match>
</fontconfig>

(i. e., assigning 'ja','zh-cn' to 'lang' in case no 'lang' was in the pattern (unlikely) or 'ja' was not in it)

and use:

FONTCONFIG_FILE=your.config.file fc-match

because that will redirect fontconfig configuration for that single operation to your file. It would mean you need to have as many of those configuration files as you would have possible settings of your FC_LANG variable that are not matched by settings of the LANG variable (are they that many..??)
