Hello Sastry,
Try installing the fonts in the jre/lib/fonts directory. The JRE should be able to
access these fonts at startup.
We have tested with the Mangal and the Arial Unicode and found no compatibility
problems. You may also use the font Lucida Sans Regular which has the Devanagiri
support and is part of the JRE.
Hope it helps.
