devanagari isn't

[Joshua N Pritikin <vishnu pobox com>]

Hi!

i have an application that uses pango to display devanagari.  It works on
two of my machines.  However, another machine isn't working.  Maybe i forgot
all the steps to make it work?

1. i set the locale to en_US.utf8 using dpkg-reconfigure locales (/etc/locale.gen).

2. Add the pango fonts to the font path.

joshua remix:~$ ls /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/
dev-14.bdf  dev-18.bdf  dev-24.bdf  fonts.dir    raghu.ttf
dev-14.pcf  dev-18.pcf  dev-24.pcf  fonts.scale

joshua remix:~$ xset q
Font Path:
  
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/

joshua remix:~$ xlsfonts |grep dev
-sibal-devanagari-medium-r-normal--0-0-75-75-p-0-iso10646-dev
-sibal-devanagari-medium-r-normal--14-140-75-75-p--iso10646-dev
-sibal-devanagari-medium-r-normal--18-180-75-75-p--iso10646-dev
-sibal-devanagari-medium-r-normal--24-240-75-75-p--iso10646-dev

3. Run my app with the language set to mr.

  LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 LANGUAGE=mr redael

On two of my machines, this gives nice marathi glyphs.  However, the other machine
just displays lots of squares, as if the glyphs are not available.  What else
can i check?
