I am sorry , I actually gave a thought for opensuse but didn't include
the line for fonts in the install guide .
Opensuse has more or less been refused by the indian community ( a
general opinion after the Novell - MS deal ) hence no one even
bothered to volunteer for packaging the  indic ( indian ) fonts  .
This is happening despite Novell having a technical office at
Bangalore :(

so the soution is
http://rbhalera.fedorapeople.org/released/lohit/lohit-fonts-2.3.8.tar.gz

Download the tar package and install the fonts in it . It contains all
indic language fonts .  Once you install it I assure you even if
deelkar writes tests for all indic languages it will pass the font
test !

The image( font test of "khammam" in telugu and hindi ) you are
showing passed telugu but failed hindi test . Sorry again for giving a
tar file . I wish someone packages indic fonts in opensuse .

Regards,
Pavithran
