_______________________________________________Dear Nataliya,
I have searched extensively in the past few years for Sharada and Newari fonts (preferring unicode) for use as illustrations of original texts in my forthcoming edited anthology, *A Garland of Forgotten Goddesses* (UC Press).
For Sharada, the only option I was able to find is Google's Noto Sans Sharada, which is so ugly as to be unusable.
For Newari fonts, there are some decent ones for modern forms of the script, such as described at the bottom of this page (with links to the fonts). I am not aware of any fonts for the older "Bhujimol" form of the script. There is also a Devanagari-encoded "unicode" font for the Ranjana script you might be interested in, described here. These Devanagari-encoded Newar fonts work well, despite using the Devanagari unicode character map. See here and here for full-page samples.
All the best,
