As you say, get the fonts.

Pointer:
lisi@Tux-II:~$ aptitude search ttf | grep gujarati
i A ttf-gujarati-fonts              - transitional dummy package
lisi@Tux-II:~$ aptitude search ttf | grep hindi
lisi@Tux-II:~$ aptitude search ttf | grep tamil
i A ttf-tamil-fonts                 - Transitional dummy package
lisi@Tux-II:~$   

I haven't explored why no hindi in that ttf list.  urdu isn't there either.
