> What I think I am looking for is something that would map a document typeset using something like the Devanagari Preeti font (https://fonts2u.com/preeti.font), which seems to have the Devanagari glyphs encoded in the range 0x00-0x7F, to something like the Devanagari unicode font Mukta (https://ektype.in/scripts/devanagari/mukta.html) in the range 0x0900-0x097F.
