I've made a test with launching GNU Emacs 23.0.60 with -Q and letting  
it load some extra ELisp code. And now it displays in the HELLO  
buffer (C-h H) Indic scripts. The extra code is:

  (set-fontset-font "fontset-standard" 'mule-unicode-0100-24ff

It only affects one single fontset. Fonts *I* have installed are used  
here. You would need to apply this for all fontsets you use – and of  
course all fontset sizes, too (fontset-default is derived from an X  
resource).
