Try replacing your <tag> and </tag> with two single characters like ~ and @
You can then use [^~]*. Just incase these two special characters appear in the input replace them with two unique strings and replace these back when done:
This assumes the whole document is on 1 line which is likely to cause issues with sed when your XML gets large so it's not ideal, but a good example of the concept.
Another approach is to use the awk Record Separator (RS) by replacing the start and end tags with a single character:
Now, awk can simply select the N*2 record for the required data.
Again we replace the UNIQUE_STR with ~ for the final result.

SYNOPSIS
fc-match [ -svV? ] [ --sort ] [ --verbose ] [ --version ] [ --help ] [ font-pattern ]

fc-match matches font-pattern (empty pattern by default) using the normal fontconfig matching rules to find the best font available. If
--sort is given, the sorted list of best matching fonts is displayed. With --verbose, the whole font pattern for each match is printed,
otherwise only the file, family and style are printed..
OPTIONS
This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included
below.
-v --verbose
Print whole font pattern for each match.
-? --help
Show summary of options.
-V --version
Show version of the program and exit.
-s --sort
