Please ask questions about Emacs 22 on the developers list. Emacs 22 has 
not yet been released. (I am cc-ing that list here.)

Unfortunately intlfonts-1.2.1 doesn't contain Indic fonts.
The current Emacs contains an Indic scripts renderers that
use Indic fonts of ISFOC-encoding, but as there are only
proprietary CDAC fonts supporting that encoding.  Although
CDAC fonts are available for no-change, they are not free
and the negotiation between FSF and CDAC for making them
free didn't go well.  So we don't include them in intlfonts.

We are now working hard to support OpenType Indic fonts in
Emacs in emacs-unicode-2 branch, but the work is not yet
finished.
