        I think the font name is not in font, that seems to be an
 integer. I have left the gdb session running, in case you want me to
 try something else. Now, I have tried inserting the character a buffer
 in another session, and I am inserting that character in this message;
   द
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
        character: द (2342, #o4446, #x926)
preferred charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))
       code point: 0x0926
           syntax: w    which means: word
         category: i:Indian
      buffer code: #xE0 #xA4 #xA6
        file code: #xE0 #xA4 #xA6 (encoded by coding system utf-8-emacs)
          display: composed to form "द" (see below)

Composed using this font:
  xft:-unknown-gargi-normal-normal-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1
by these glyphs:
  [0 0 2342 137 7 0 7 9 1 nil]

Character code properties: customize what to show
  name: DEVANAGARI LETTER DA
  general-category: Lo (Letter, Other)

There are text properties here:
  fontified            t
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

        So I am reasonably sure the font is 
  xft:-unknown-gargi-normal-normal-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1


        On Debian GNU/Linux, this is found in the package:
ttf-devanagari-fonts: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-devanagari-fonts/gargi.ttf
