Don't have much information on the same but your terminal need to support Hindi font.Generally in Fedora , in  /lib/kbd/consolefonts we have got certain xyz.psf.gz file which are responsible for console fonts.

https://zid-lux1.uibk.ac.at/linux/rpm2html/fedora/14/i386/os/Packages/terminus-fonts-console-4.30-2.fc14.noarch.html

Now we can edit those .psf.gz file with the help of a utility and can change the fonts as we want.

In ubuntu we have them in /lib/consolefonts.

you can use a hint given in below link that how to change terminal font if you have any .psf.gz file for hindi in your /lib/consolefonts.

http://askubuntu.com/questions/97469/what-is-the-default-debian-ubuntu-console-tty-font-called

you can change any .psf.gz file using NAFE (.psf editor) and change its letters according to you.

There may be a chance that a .psf.gz file for hindi is also availiable.

Hope this helps.This is what i had done during one of my project in Fedora to change the terminal font.I cant exactally remember the name of the utility to change the .psf file but i think NAFE is the one.

INDIAN LANGUAGE SUPPORT IN GNOME-TERMINAL B.Tech
http://foss.coep.org.in/fosslab/Indian-Language-support-in-gnome-terminal.pdf

YOu will get pdf. I guess, the proposed solution still not integrated with Ubuntu release. One need to push the solution into the release or maintain some sort of PPA.

[gajendra khanna]

special terminals are available which support hindi fonts better. I recall one of them called mlterm.

[Narendra Sisodiya]

mlterm show nothing when it come to Hindi.. it render completely incorrect.

[gajendra khanna]

probably some extra installation is required. Used to work in some older versions.
