Do groff or troff support any indian languages like hindi or sanskrit?

I have tried using font-install script to install the fonts which are required but it doesn't work. I have also tried to use -mom macros but nothing works. Any help would be appreciated.

"It does not work" is generally considered to be a very bad problem description.

I use install_font.sh to install fonts. That works on my PC (Linux Mint) for Cyrillic and Greek fonts. You're welcome to try it.

Note: It is not my scripting; I just don't have the source where it comes from.

Although looking at your script I would assume Unicode fonts for Indic scripts will not work. It may be necessary to use legacy pre-Unicode fonts.
The script comes with the disclaimers that "it works on my PC" and that it is not my scripting. When I have time, I will try some hindi or sanskrit font.
The script converts opentype and ttf fonts to other formats that cannot support indic rendering in Unicode. So need a very retro, visual based legacy encoding.
