I see Lohit and Marathi, but that compares poorly to Debian/Fedora/Arch etc etc, which have the entire set of Bharati languages working out of the box. Fairly massive effort to package this many fonts, but I guess the only option is to get started. Is there any easy way to test unicode coverage of fonts versus Unicode 8.0.0? I am thinking of perhaps starting a Unicode OTF font packaging effort, but it would be nice to track how close the goal is. http://www.indlinux.org/wiki/index.php/IndicFontsList https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/pkgs/data/fonts
