Hmmm ... I recently downloaded these free fonts and I know that at least the Free Serif
font includes glyphs for many Indic scripts.
Bizarrely, different members of the same family support different character sets. So the Free Serif italic font contains some Thai glyphs, but the bold and bold italic do not; the bold font includes katakana and hiragana glyphs, but the bold italic does not; and so on.
The Free Sans regular font contains some Bengali and some Oriya glyphs, probably just about enough to cover the contents of the Unicode ranges, but nothing like enough to actually render text. The fonts seem to be a hodge-podge of whatever the makers could find or put together.

Theory set out to produce texts that could not be processed successfully
by the commonsensical assumptions that ordinary language puts into play.
There are texts of theory that resist meaning so powerfully ... that the
very process of failing to comprehend the text is part of what it has to offer
