Thanks Federico, I used /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf but didn't see FreeSerif. DejaVuSans doesn't seem to render Hindi. Is there a font for that?

No such font exists. You can try DejaVu Sans or FreeSerif for best coverage.

For Devanagari*,* my system is using Gargi https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Gargi_fonts
For a slightly more complete list: If I go to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedias and use web-inspector to list the fonts used on the page, in Firefox Ubuntu, with a few non-stock fonts installed, I get:
TakaoPGothic Lohit Bengali Zawgyi-One Meera Pothana2000 Georgia NanumGothic Ubuntu DejaVu Sans Droid Sans Mono Kedage Normal gargi Lohit Tamil Rekha Droid Sans Fallback Free Serif ori1Uni Medium Free Sans Khmer OS Waree DejaVu Sans Saab mry_KacstQurn jomolhari brahmi Nuosu
And that results in all language names rendered correctly. There's almost certainly overlap, so I'm not sure what the minimum set of required fonts would be. Possibly ask https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/languages or https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-i18n
HTH. Quiddity
