Thanks Federico, I used
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf
but didn't see FreeSerif. DejaVuSans doesn't seem to render Hindi. Is there
a font for that?

For Devanagari*,* my system is using Gargi
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Gargi_fonts
For a slightly more complete list:
If I go to
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedias
and use web-inspector to list the fonts used on the page, in Firefox
Ubuntu, with a few non-stock fonts installed, I get:
TakaoPGothic
Lohit Bengali
Zawgyi-One
Meera
Pothana2000
Georgia
NanumGothic
Ubuntu
DejaVu Sans
Droid Sans Mono
Kedage Normal
gargi
Lohit Tamil
Rekha
Droid Sans Fallback
Free Serif
ori1Uni Medium
Free Sans
Khmer OS
Waree
DejaVu Sans
Saab
mry_KacstQurn
jomolhari
brahmi
Nuosu
And that results in all language names rendered correctly.
There's almost certainly overlap, so I'm not sure what the minimum set of
required fonts would be. Possibly ask

https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-i18n
HTH.
