An elegant way might be to generate type1 devnag fonts from metafont
sources using 'textrace' which is available at CTAN.  I have tried
textrace on dvng10.mf and generated decent type1 version of the font,
which means we can scale the font to any extent. The additional
advantage is that the PDF docs created with type1 version looks much
better and cleaner than the metafont version.
