Emacs doesn't yet have a useful notion of "the default language". It
is a problematic notion in a multilingual editor anyway. We do have a
mechanism in place to prefer some fonts over others give "the current
language", though, see fontset.el.

Specifically, for this context, I'd be glad to have the right text in
the Tai Viet script in _any_ of the languages that use this script, as
those greetings in the HELLO file are just a kind of show-off.
