I just saw that web fonts facility have been added to Indic wikis. On Hindi and Sanskrit wikipedia, there are Lohit Devanagari and Samyak Devanagari fonts.
I request to add Sanskrit 2003http://hi.wikipedia.org/%E0%A4%B8%E0%A4%82%E0%A4%B8%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%95%E0%A5%83%E0%A4%A4_%E0%A5%A8%E0%A5%A6%E0%A5%A6%E0%A5%A9web font to Sanskrit wikipedia (and if possible to other Devanagari script based wikis) because it is the best Unicode font to display Sanskrit text. It is also free, so there is no problem to use it for this purpose.

Sadly, I am still collaborating with people who understand technology better than me to correct recent problems with Lohit and Utkal as webfonts and occupied with other work as well, Thanks Srikanth, but bot being able to help as my lack of expertise in technicality. The WebFont is just launched, I think a couple of other fonts will soon be candidates to be used for Devanagari based WPs.

NonCommericial - I think use in Wikipedia is non-commerical.
No, Wikipedia is not non-commercial in this regard. It's a very frequent misunderstanding, though - the first article i created in the English Wikipedia was speedily deleted because of this ;)
In short, materials brought into Wikipedia must be free for usage commercially, too. The full explanation is here: https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Resolution:Licensing_policy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NONCOM
