[INDOLOGY] Font with Brahmi characters

[rajam]

I think we need more clear instructions for end users. I downloaded all of those types but got nowhere from there. 

I’m sure, scholars like Śri Shriramana Sharma <jamadagni at gmail.com> and his colleagues who developed the Tamil Brahmi font would be able to help us here.

Best,
Rajam
