This is the second part of the survey regarding font control. First an
introduction to put us all in the same page

* Background:

When exporting to Emacs, there are two layers:
- language dependencies
- font management

** Regarding language management:
Unless configured through the document class or using babel or polyglossia,
the default language for dates, hyphenation, section headings, etc. is
American English. Depending on the underlying or imported language
management package, language names vary. Additionally, language management
includes functions like left-to-right vs. right-to-left text layout.

** Regarding font management:
When dealing with modern (utf8) LaTeX compilers, the underlying font
management package is fontspec. In addition to it, polyglossia and babel
provide a layer around fontspec that allows per-language fonts. Each of
these packages has their own font definition macros, font family names,
etc.

* The survey proper
Please tick the option that applies to you best in each of the sections.

Basics:
[] I understand emacs-lisp and can write my configs from the documentation
provided
[] I copy and paste (emacs-lisp) configs and could slightly modify them to
adapt them to my needs
[] emacs-lisp, no please
General font config:
[] I want my configurations match the manual(s) of the package(s) I use as
much as possible.
[] I prefer to have an abstraction that can be used independently of the
font/language package I use.
Language codes:
[] I'm comfortable enough with the language codes used by org-mode
[] I'd rather use the language names/codes from my font/language package of
choice.


Thanks for any input.

PS: A third survey will be following shortly for people who have dared to
try out the feature branch.
