Not any better than the OS/2 codePageRange bits that we already have; all 
this would do is permit the application to use one font instead of several 
different fonts.  That's not particularily interesting as we're unlikely 
to ever see good fonts that include glyphs for all of the worlds languages.

And, if the "language" you mention doesn't include some locality, then it 
couldn't even distinguish between Ming and Sung forms.
