I don't know anything about the fonts in question, I have enough trouble 
with English. ;) 
However, a google search for "Nepali (Hindi) font" yields quite a few 
hits. I found and downloaded a few true type Nepali fonts from:
http://user.dtcc.edu/~berlin/font/indian.htm

No license info included anywhere I saw, and the download files I grabbed 
are just plain .zip files containing only the fonts. I got:
gauri.zip  himalb.zip  kanchan.zip  lakshmi.zip  preeti.zip  rukmini.zip

I unziped them, and got:
Archive:  gauri.zip
  inflating: GAURI.TTF
Archive:  himalb.zip
  inflating: HI.TTF
Archive:  kanchan.zip
  inflating: KANCHAN.TTF
Archive:  lakshmi.zip
  inflating: LAKSHMI.TTF
Archive:  preeti.zip
  inflating: PREETI.TTF
Archive:  rukmini.zip
  inflating: RUKMINI.TTF

Should be simple enough to install them I'd think. I'll leave that to 
others, as I wouldn't have a clue as to what I was looking at if I did 
install them.
