"theoretically" in a browser that implements HTML 4.0 fully, this is true
(they may even understand the Unicode language tagging system), but are
there any browsers out there that plan to implement this (choosing a font
appropriate for a particular language based on the lang attribute)?

Currently, the "popular" browsers out there associate fonts with character
encodings, not languages.
