Here are some links that might be of help. I had a similar problem when I needed Greek fonts, however my distribution came with language fonts. Did you make you that you have them but might have forgotten to change the encoding? First check that, if not, one of the links below has a link to downloading a font and instructions on installing. Hope that helps! http://cgm.cs.mcgill.ca/~luc/indic.html http://dinkercharak.com/prayaas/hindi_support.htm
