Very nice to know johnraff, "fonts-droid" cover a lot of Asian/Eastern Language.

Specific descriptions for the above fonts.

## Package: fonts-droid
The Droid family of fonts consists of Droid Sans (Regular and Bold), Droid Sans Mono (Regular) and Droid Serif (Regular, Bold, Italic and BoldItalic).

Each contains extensive character set coverage including Western Europe, Eastern/Central Europe, Baltic, Cyrillic, Greek and Turkish support. The Droid Sans regular font also includes support for Arabic, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean and Thai.
-----------------
## Package: fonts-unfonts-core
This is a set of Korean TrueType fonts. These fonts were made from the HLaTeX's PostScript fonts and modified slightly.

This package has only the most common font families (UnBatang, UnDotum, Ungraphic, Unpilgi, and UnGungseo). Install fonts-unfonts-extra for additional fonts.
-----------------
## Package: fonts-tlwg-typo
This package provides Thai TlwgTypo monospace font from TLWG.

The font provides Thai purely monospace font, i.e. all glyphs are of the same width, even for combining characters, but with some rules in the font to combine them to base characters.

The glyph shapes are designed to look like Thai electric typewriters.
-----------------
## Package: fonts-gargi in Jessie (only)
OpenType Devanagari font

This package provides Gargi font for Devanagari script which is used as script for multiple languages such as Hindi, Kashmiri, Konkani, Maithili, Marathi normally spoken in various states in Indian subcontinent.
-----------------
## Package: ttf-unifont
This contains two fonts: "Unifont" and "Unifont Sample".

unifont.ttf is a bitmap font converted into a scalable TrueType outline font, Unifont. Each pixel in the original bitmap font is represented as an outlined square. The font provides a glyph for each visible code point (character) in the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane (Plane 0). Plane 0 contains most of the world's modern writing scripts. This font looks best at 12pt.

unifont_sample.ttf is an SBIT font that contains combining circles and is therefore suitable for illustrating individual Unicode glyphs. unifont.ttf does not contain combining circles and so is suitable for general-purpose writing.

Complex fonts (such as Indic or Semitic scripts, where letters change shape depending on their position in a word, or such as Mongolian, which is written vertically) will not render perfectly. The philosophy behind this font, though, is that anything meaningful is better than an empty box for a unknown glyph.
