no needto uninstall language-selector. In fact, language-selector is an
integral part of Ubuntu and used to manage localization settings. So,
please don't remove it.

What you want is 'fontconfig-voodoo -rf'. That will remove the
language-selector specific fontconfig files from conf.d .

I may use these configuration files in a modified form in a patch for
fontconfig and remove fontconfig-voodoo altogether.
