On digging further, I find that the data is viewable when the following
fonts are installed on a Winduhs computer:
Devanagari MT Bold
Devanagari MT
Devanagari Sangam MN
Devanagari Sangam MN Bold
DevLys 010
Kruti Dev 010
Krishna Bold Italic
Krishna Condensed
Krishna Wide
Krishna Bold
Krishna Italic
Krishna
Krishna Thin
Krishna
Kruti Dev 010
Shusha02
Shusha05
Shusha
Now I don't know exactly which of these fonts is used to render the
text, whether these fonts are Unicode or not, and whether I can use them
in Linux. The objective is to get them into Unicode, and eventually
transliterate into Roman. Any help appreciated.
