Using unicode fonts is the easiest way to properly display hindi, arabic, hebrew and other non latin languages. We install the unicode fonts in a local directory and then tell fontconfig to look in that directory. Edit /etc/fonts/local.conf

 

<!-- /etc/fonts/local.conf file for local customizations -->

<dir>/usr/ias/share/fonts/fc</dir>

Then tell fontconfig to rehash it’s tables

[root@host] # fc-cache

Check that your new font is there

[root@host] # fc-list |grep
