> 8. fonts-lohit-ta (Tamil)
> 9. fonts-lohit-te (Telugu)
> 10. fonts-lohit-pa (Punjabi)
As all these are actually scripts, wouldn't it make sense to use the
iso-codes for scripts instead of those for languages? That would thus
drop the naming inconsistency cause by devanagari.
This is ISO-15924 (see iso-codes) standard. For instance:
Devanagari="Deva"
Kannada="Knda"
Malayalam="Mlym"
...etc.

I may help on that one
