Yes that seems to be the case . I could see the town name in telugu.
But there are problems
* The shape of the font is bad
* Font rendering has its share of problems which are common to all
indic fonts .
I have found http://trac.mapnik.org/ticket/112
If the above is the case with mapnik ,its quite strange that there is
no fallback option for osmarender which is not displaying any name (
neither name=nameintelugu nor name:en=nameinenglish)
