Only if the font does. (At least in the case of gecko-on-X11.)

Ideally the text should be tagged as DE so that the app can call the
opentype/graphite/whatever features for DE text rather than for generic
latin (script) text.

Failing that it would be useful to guess based on word lists, provided
of course that doing do does not kill performance.
