Namaste,
I am afraid nobody can help you without MWE. You should create the following:
\listfiles
\documentclass{...}
Your preamble
\begin{document}
\printindex
\end{document}
Include your generated .ind file and .log file. You should use only
free fonts and if they are not included in TeX Live, you should inform
how to obtain them.
