You probably need a font that contains Devanagari. From the Emacs INSTALL file: ,---- |* intlfonts-VERSION.tar.gz | | The intlfonts distribution contains X11 fonts in various encodings | that Emacs can use to display international characters. If you see a | non-ASCII character appear as a hollow box, that means you don't have | a font for it. `----
