The telugu font Pothana2000 missed covering the code point "0C55". As 
fontconfig assumes that a font covers a language (fc-cache generates 
"lang:te") only if all the code points of that language are covered. So 
in the case of Pothana2000, as it missed a code point, fontconfig 
doesn't recognize this as a telugu font. So the lang field in the font 
cache is left empty. As a result of this, Free-sans (which does not have 
complete coverage for Telugu) is chosen as the default font for 
rendering Telugu on the system. Although there are other (perhaps more 
proper) ways to solve this problem, it would be nice to fix this also.
