[Wikimediaindia-l] Please add Sanskrit 2003 web font to Sanskrit Wikipedia

[ePandit | ई-पण्डित]

In that case please add Sidhanta font to Sanskrit wikipedia, it has most
feature rich font for Sanskrit. (Sanskrit 2003 is better in display)

Also it is clearly stated that it can be used as a web font.
