Such a change may be possible, but not trivial at all.  Pango's
best-known feature is using multiple fonts when a single font
doesn't cover all characters used.  With FcFontSort, you have a
list of fonts to look into for such coverage.  If you replace the
FcFontSort with FcFontMatch, you should keep that in mind and go
back and call FcFontSort in case there is a character not covered
by the match returned...
