Yes, that's probably possible. I need to validate this. Interestingly, when I don't set at all which font to use for gu, I get the same result, at least at a first glance: I see the glyphs which can be seen on the screenshots you got. In contrary, when I build an installer image without the noto-fonts-unhinted-udeb package included, I get the TOFU placeholder signs inserted for all gu character. That makes me think that font selection via the gtk-set-font script does not work here for whatever reason and some default is selected. Maybe I can get some debugging output from the script, which builds the installer image, telling me what font is used for which language? Or maybe there is a way to get a relevant output when running the installer in Gujarati, from virtual console from example? I knew some similar way to output which font is used in a pdf document. Of course, the tools and possibilities inside of the running installer for such observations are extremly limited I suspect. Will see, maybe kibi can comment on this...
