Yes, I did that. I was thinking more on the lines of taking default
from system/fontconfig configuration.

pravi@savannah:~$ fc-list :lang=ml
Meera:style=Regular
FreeSerif:style=Mittel,µεσαία,Medium,Normal,Gemiddeld,navadno
Rachana:style=Regular
suruma:style=Medium
AnjaliOldLipi:style=Regular
Lohit Malayalam:style=Regular
RaghuMalayalam:style=Sans
pravi@savannah:~$ fc-match :lang=ml
Meera_04.ttf: "Meera" "Regular"
pravi@savannah:~$
I think fc-match would be a better option, but even the the preference
in fc-list is not respected in this case.
