Guys! I have access to that font(DV-TTSurekh-Normal). As far as I know it is
said that font is made in 1996-97. And it in no way a Unicode OpenType Font.
It is an ASCII hack font for Devanagari. The Devanagari glyph are draw in
latin names. So, for example when you type a you will get क as glyph of a.
So just telling fontspec the font name will not work of that font as I know.
