choosing default font for a locale

[venkata ramana]

Hi list,
  I use telugu (te_IN) unicode names for some of my files and menu
items. I recently installed some new fonts and one of these newly
installed fonts made itself as default for telugu unicode characters.
Is there anyway for specifying which of the fonts I have, should be
associated with the characters in my language?

regards,
ramana.
