SCIM is one very good IME (Input Method Engine) and if you have
installed it (http://www.scim-im.org) then Ctrl+Space would activate
it & also deactivate it. Once activated, it will show you a couple of
keymaps (www.m17n.org) which you might have installed in a SCIM panel
on the bottom right of the screen.

Check http://www.makuchaku.info/blog/enabling-support-for-your-indic-language-in-fc-5-and-beyond
for more information on setting up SCIM. Please note that this is
specific for Fedora, but the generic process should work for all
distros.

Installing new fonts is simple - just copy them to /usr/share/fonts
and run fc-cache

check /proc/cpuinfo

I hope it helps...
