 Well since raghu font doesnt have english glyphs, wherever english is
there you will get boxes, you have to also set the locale to hi_IN
before starting the application
 eg after setting the font explicitly
  $ export LANG=hi_IN
  $ kword &                  or whatever application you have set the
font for & have the translations in unicode.

or better still do a 
  $ strace kword 2> /tmp/msg.log
  and go through /tmp/msg.log to see if the Hindi mo files are
accessed ?
