Yes it's determined by locale value. <match> with <test name="lang">
can make different configs per locale.

Only for LANG=en?

<match>
<test name="lang" compare="contains"><string>en</string></test>
...append fonts...
</match>

Or you can add such this for all non-CJK locales..

<match>
<test name="lang" compare="not_contains"><string>ja</string></test>
<test name="lang" compare="not_contains"><string>ko</string></test>
<test name="lang" compare="not_contains"><string>zh</string></test>
...append fonts...
</match>
