problem lies in this file: /etc/fonts/conf.d/69-nonlatin.conf
<alias>
  <family>monospace</family>
  <prefer>
    <family>Lohit Bengali</family>
    <family>Lohit Gujarati</family>
    <family>Lohit Hindi</family>
    <family>Lohit Marathi</family>
    <family>Lohit Maithili</family>
    <family>Lohit Kashmiri</family>
    <family>Lohit Konkani</family>
    <family>Lohit Nepali</family>
    <family>Lohit Sindhi</family>
    <family>Lohit Punjabi</family>
    <family>Lohit Tamil</family>
    <family>Lohit Malayalam</family>
    <family>Lohit Kannada</family>
    <family>Lohit Telugu</family>
    <family>Lohit Oriya</family>
    <family>LKLUG</family>
  </prefer>
</alias>

Lohit Devanagari, Lohit Bengali these are not monospace fonts. This
configuration forces them as the default monospace font for hindi, bengali and
others.
and also /etc/fonts/conf.d/66-lohit-*-fonts.conf fonts are not explicitly
define monospace, so the main problem remains in 69-nonlatin.conf.

solution: removing lohit fonts from the `<family>monospace</family>` section in
69-nonlatin.conf file and instead adding the monospace fonts like Liberation
Mono.
