I don't understand.  If you get order vs other languages they match
wrong, you're going to get bad display anyway.  That means that you
can't do `(set-face-font 'lovely "My Preferred Font for Klingon-12"
nil '(startrek-charset-tag) 'remove-tag-set-prepend)' with reliability
anyway.

Sure, in legacy Mule-coding XEmacs with your charset-tag kludge it
works (I assume), but that needs to die with Unicode internal, right?
And what do you do if someone wants different fonts for Spanish and
Swedish?  Assume that the Spaniards are so poor they don't have any
Euros to write about, so assign ISO-8859-1 to Spanish and ISO-8859-15
to Swedish?
