Thanks for the hint which guided me to dig inside configure.ac.
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.
