(You can get to the dialog with Shift-Mouse1 and try
different fonts out temporarily.  Or set them via Options->
Customize Emacs->Faces->Basic Faces->Default, IIRC.)

I'm not sure but I first saw them plus a bunch of Indian language 
fonts (and me only knowing a word or two of Tamil) when I installed 
Windows XP.  I don't believe I included any foreign language support 
during the installation, but I might have chosen some options like 
that, that caused those fonts to be installed.  Or maybe they're just 
part of XP.
