Note that for any hope whatsoever of having the affected GUI elements render devanagari, the Devanagari plane needs to be covered by fonts.cfg (which is in data/hardwired/fonts.cfg) and there needs to be a font that has devanagari glyphs in the game's fonts directory.

So, do the following:

1. Put a font with devanagari glyphs in the game's fonts directory.

2. Append the font's filename to the order= list in fonts.cfg.

2. Append the font's family name to the family_order= list in fonts.cfg.

3. Put this after the last [font] codeblock before "#ifdef FOR_COMPATIBILITY_SAKE":

[font]
    name="<filename>"
    codepoints=2304-2431
[/font]

4. Restart the game and take a look

Even then, I'm not sure if GUI1 can properly shape devanagari. I guess I'll try this out myself and see what happens.
