[Hindi font problem on Ubuntu when using custom fonts.conf file]
Also see (from the above bug report):
<http://www.binarytides.com/blog/google-chrome-hindi-font-problem-on-ubuntu/>

I tested on a fairly clean Natty partition. With
ttf-mscorefonts-installer installed, the http://www.bbc.co.uk/hindi/
renders per the bug report. I purged ttf-mscorefonts-installer,
restarted chromium and the results are the same. Note: I've no custom
~/fonts.conf so this doesn't seem to be the issue (with me).
