There is essentially zero probability of any font designer ever doing
this, sorry. Font designers are stylists first and foremost, and
Devanagiri characters do not fit into the general shapes of Latin
characters. Text written as you'd like looks *ugly* to readers, so the
only people who would use such fonts are the same sort of people who
would voluntarily use Comic Sans (and they are already beyond
redemption).

We're already too short of decent free font designers. Please stop
trying to drive them off.
