Indian fonts in Kodi not displayed properly

Hi, I am using 16.1 on my machines that run Ubuntu and Librelec. On both machines, I have set my scraper settings to Keep Original Title. For some movies, TMDB has the original movie title using the Devanagari script (as per required by their new rules). See this entry for example. Now on my Ubuntu machine, the original title shows up as a bunch of rectangular crossed out blocks. On Libreelec, the title is blank. This is clearly a fonts availability issue. Does Kodi not include such fonts by default? If not, can someone point me to resources which allow me to install custom fonts.
Thanks.
