I have installed two additional packages - libfreetype6-dev and libxft-dev. The Tamil characters are now displayed correctly and shows up in the right font. ps-1: ---- I am wondering whether `* Complex Text Layout support libraries' section of INSTALL file should mention availability of both xft and freetype headers. ps-2: ----- I remember doing a apt-get build-dep emacs to automatically pull the needed dependencies. I now see that apt-rdepends emacs | grep xft doesn't show up libxft-dev. (Likewise for libfreetype6-dev) This partly explains why CTL support was turned off in EmacsFromBzr. Anyways, my problem is solved and the solution is recorded here for others to run with. --
