Instead of selecting gnome desktop, I opted for installing system utilities. Then I checked the availability for telugu fonts and found it was installed. I installed gnome-core, xorg and then gdm and found no issue with login screen in Telugu. The earlier attempt where telugu font display as unicode characters issue was done through a Virtual OS software. May be the problem was related to something else. Anyway I will try a Live debian CD soon to check whether the problem exists for installation on physical disks. Cheers Arjun
