Can you suggest how can I set good fonts for Indic languages in Arch Linux? I remember I had Ubuntu some while ago and it had really good looking fonts for Hindi.

Hmm.. Now I installed ttf-indic-otf package, and fonts appear great in Firefox and Konqueror but are looking terrible in Opera(which I primarily use) and Midori...
In the rest of the system Fonts appear just fine...

Any guesses?

Hmm...According to Wikipedia page, the rendering is still far from perfect... :( in Opera
