I hope I'm not wrong but the FreeSerif Devanagari glyphs seem to be
derived from Lohit Devanagari (https://fedorahosted.org/lohit/).

I have had problems with FreeSerif on LibreOffice also. IMHO it is
better to use DejaVu for European scripts and Lohit family for Indic
scripts. I am not saying that the Lohit family is perfect, but the
maintainers are very responsive to bug reports. So you might try and
see whether the Lohit fonts are better suited to your requirements.
