Does this patch restore 1.3 behaviour of noFontChange, or did you change it
wrt. languages because the sentence above? I did not want you to do the
latter, I agree with Jean-Marc that noFontChange should not do that, I only
described above what I thought it actually does.

He is right IMO. I think the problem is that language is currently a font
attribute. We need to do all sorts of crazy stuff with fonts (realize,
reduce) which does not work very well for languages.
I believe that the problems would go away if language was a text attribute
independent from the font.
