Fontconfig reads the font properties at startup time, and thereafter only 
when they change (it checks file mod times when fonts are listed).  

What we could do is add a set of rules executed when the patterns are
loaded, although I'm not sure that's precisely what you want, and it would
significantly impact application startup performance.  

It seems like you want to select fonts based on Unicode coverage of the
desired Hangul representation.  You could easily add a way to represent
Unicode coverage in the config file; that would make adding coverage
information possible with existing apps.
