Dear Joachim,

Some freely available Devanagari fonts in Unicode encoding are available
here:

  http://bombay.indology.info
  http://bombay.indology.info/software/fonts/devanagari/

They're called Nakula and Sahadeva.

Viramas occur in clusters, so to speak.  Some documents don't use them
much at all, others a lot.  It's a kind of typesetters' or editors'
decision.

Best,
Dominik
