The default language tag, ‘dflt’, can be used by font tools to indicate the default language system for a particular script. Since default language system is indicated in the font by an offset (DefaultLangSys in the Script table in the GSUB and GPOS) and not a tag, ‘dflt’ should not be present as an actual tag in the font.
