Hindi is just an example.  CJK characters are another
example.  We should select a proper CJK font depending of
the current language environment.

?? The default fontset alreay has such a specification.  For
devanagari script, for instance, Emacs tries to find an OTF
font which support "rphf" OTF Feature for "deva" script.

     (devanagari ,(font-spec :registry "iso10646-1" :otf '(deva nil (rphf)))
		 (nil . "iso10646.indian-1"))
