Unfortunately, ttmkfdir can't generate proper XLFD name for Unicode encoded
fonts that fall under Indic range. New programs are being written which
will eventually replace ttmkfdir. Meanwhile you can put the following XLFD
name for Raghu in your fonts.scale file:

    raghu.ttf -NCST-Raghindi-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1

Look for files in /etc/gtk (or /etc/gnome) directory. For newer version of
gtk it may be in /etc/gtk-2 directory. Those files are having name
 gtkrc.[locale_name]. For example, gtkrc.hi_IN or gtkrc.ta_IN. You can
specify fontset to be used for a particular locale. Following is an
example:

# This is sample gtkrc file for hi_IN locale
  
style "gtk-default-hi_IN" {
     fontset = 
           "raghu, \
            -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso8859-1" 
}
class "GtkWidget" style "gtk-default-hi_IN"

# end of file
