attached with Junk Characters on Libreoffice GUI, while system browser showing correct locale (te_IN)

while testing GUI in various Indian locales, there are Junk Character in interface. Somewhere Characters are mixed up with Each other. Other Places there Blocks without any glyphs. 

Tested Windows Build only.

LibreOffice 3.5.0rc1 
Build ID: b6c8ba5-8c0b455-0b5e650-d7f0dd3-b100c87

Tested locales with Problem:
Dogri
Kannada (kn_IN)
Tamil (ta_IN)
Telugu (te_IN)


Change language interface with Tools->Option->Language-GUI [http://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Selecting_the_Document_Language]


Is there any chance that there will be No (or wrong) Font Selection in Libreoffice's configration file for those languages (on Windows OS)?

NOT reproducible with with "LibreOffice 3.5.0 RC1 Tamil UI/ German Locale [Build-ID: b6c8ba5-8c0b455-0b5e650-d7f0dd3-b100c87] on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) in a Recovery dialog.

I did not do many tests because of "Bug 45137 - UI: TAMIL / DOGRI CRASH in menu Tools - Options"

[Reproducible] with "LibreOffice 3.4.5 Tamil (or Dogri) UI German Locale [Build ID: OOO340m1 (Build:502)]" on German WIN XP Home 32Bit (VirtualBox) in LibO Window headers and various menus and dialogs.
