Re: locale not working [SOLVED]

Fonts working and how your locale is set have very little relation with each other. Did you actually install fonts that provide the required glyphs? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fonts#Indic

Other than those specific ones the noto/dejavu families of fonts try to provide glyphs for most languages.
