Freefont is buggy and produce broken rendering for many indian languages

Freefont is last updated in 2012& not maintained. It is buggy and not producing quality rendering in Most Indian Languages. This is the only font in Ubuntu as of now supported in indtaller. But this results in broken rendering. I suggest to remove this font from installer and make it optional. I also suggest to remove this from ubuntu-desktop & vlc dependency

In past there was a package called ttf-indic-fonts-core as an installer dependency to support indian languages. But now that is also removed and producing Square boxes for many Indian languages.

There is a need of better addressing of Indian language support in Ubuntu prior to 17.10 . The support must come from seperate font package & not via broken ttf-freefont.
As of now Beta 2 of 17.10 produces rendering errors for many languages including Malayalam because of fonts-freefont.
