I guess you have to add your Devnagari font to the proper <alias> categories.
Here is what I have in my /etc/fonts/local.conf for example:

<!--
  Sans-serif faces
 -->
        <alias>
                <family>sans-serif</family>
                <prefer>
                        <family>Bitstream Vera Sans</family>
                        <family>Arial</family>
                        <family>Verdana</family>
                        <family>Nimbus Sans L</family>
                        <family>Luxi Sans</family>
                        <family>Helvetica</family>
                        <family>Arial Unicode MS</family>
                        <family>Kochi Gothic</family>
                        <family>AR PL KaitiM GB</family>
                        <family>AR PL KaitiM Big5</family>
                        <family>Baekmuk Dotum</family>
                        <family>SimSun</family>
                </prefer>
        </alias>

Don't forget to add the font to the appropriate "monospace" if you want it it
as a substitute for Courier.
