I added the following. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- At first, Emacs does not include fonts and does not install them.

Once you've done that correctly, please check if the fonts are surely avairable to Emacs by: % xlsfonts -fn '*-cdac' "Robert J.

Where did you put your the *.ttf files? If the TrueType font installation is successful, you should be able to see font glyphs by this command: % xfd -fn -altsys-DV_TTSurekh-medium-r-normal--20-0-0-0-p-0-devanagari-cdac --- Ken'ichi HANDA handa@m17n.org
