Adds charset configuration for Devanagari (U+0900-097F) in texttopdf. This enables correct font selection for Devanagari text by mapping the Unicode range to appropriate fonts such as NotoSansDevanagari. With this change, texttopdf can correctly process and render Devanagari text when suitable fonts are available on the system. Note: This relies on proper font selection behavior (see related fix removing monospace-only constraint restriction).

This PR adds the Devanagari Unicode range (U+0900-097F) to the
pdf.utf-8charset configurations intexttopdf. This enables the filter to correctly map Devanagari text to appropriate fonts (likeNotoSansDevanagari).Currently,
libcupsfiltersdoes not support Devanagari out of the box, preventing the generation of PDFs containing Hindi text.Note: For this mapping to resolve successfully with proportional fonts like Noto Sans Devanagari, the strict
FC_MONOconstraint in Fontconfig candidate filtering must be removed. I have submitted that C code fix in a separate companion PR.
