 You have to install the pango-fonts package 
ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.0/extras/pango-fonts-0.3.tar.gz

untar into say /usr/share/fonts
add the font path (eg /usr/share/fonts/default/pango-fonts-0.3/indic )
 xset +fp path or  in FontPath section in XF86Config
 if uisng Redhat then do a /sbin/chkfontpath --add urpath & restart
xfs
