Android emulator does not display Hindi font

I changed the locale to hi_IN on the emulator. When I run my application (or even the home screen) on the emulator, all I see are boxes reminiscent of "I don’t know how to render this font." Any data on why this may occur and how to get rid of it is welcome. I need to display a hindi font to check the localization of my application.

Thanks,
Sriram.
