   I really don't know about hindi supported fonts, but you can try Ubuntu fonts from this forum thread: SliTaz should have more font packages.

   i think i updated my glibc to 2.14 manually in slitaz 3.0
   This caused rendering issue in browser as I see the hindi fonts are proper in live cd.
   Anyway , is there a way I can find out that 'how many unicode characters of 110,000 can my browser display ?'

   I think you don't need whole Unicode, but only Hindi ;)
   My lovely place for international information is Wikipedia:
   Standard Hindi
   Devanagari
   Help:Multilingual support (Indic)

   I can't see whole Devanagari here: Devanāgarī in Unicode
   
   And I begin to dig ;)
   I downloaded "ttf-devanagari-fonts_0.5.11ubuntu1_all.deb" wrom here: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/t/ttf-indic-fonts/
   How to install this .deb?

   1. Open PCManFM in the folder with this downloaded package;
   2. Press F4 to open terminal in this folder;
   3. Write in terminal: tazpkg convert ttf-devanagari [and press Tab for file name completion];
   4. When SliTaz package prepared, you can install it as usual (double-click on it, enter root password, press "Install")

   I'm using SliTaz 4.0 with Midori browser. I can change my preferences: Menu→Edit→Preferences(Ctrl+Alt+P)→Fonts→select your Hindi fonts.
   After this tunings I can see almost all letters from example above:
