[Tutorial] Use Your Custom Nepali Web Font

By Upadesh Shrestha

There are lots of Nepali or Devanagari fonts available to customize your website or blog or forum. These can be used to prettify your page according to your need. You may not be aware of using all those instead of using the default. In this tutorial I am going to help you with using all those custom fonts like Lohit Nepali, Aparijit, Mangal, Madan, Kanjirow and others on your site to make it look and feel different, like the Wikipedia Nepali and other famous sites use for displaying Nepali character.
 For this tutorial you need a basic knowledge of HTML and CSS.
Lets take a look at Lohit Nepali which is used by Wikipedia Nepali.
1. Open index page with your favorite editor( I use Notepad ++) and find </head> code.
2. Paste the code:

<link href='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/47373626/Lohit-Nepali/fonts.css ' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'/>

3. Open CSS file with your favorite editor( I use Notepad ++) and find font-family inside body or any where you want to use.
4. Paste the code:

font-family:'Lohit-Nepali',Sans-Serif;

Note: You can also use this with other fonts like 

font-family:'Lohit-Nepali',Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Sans-Serif;

5. Save your file and refresh your browser to see the changes.You can use other fonts by same way replacing the font name that is in red color.Fonts that you can use right now are

Lohit-Nepali
Aprajit
Aprajit-Bold
Aprajita-Bold-Italic
Aprajita-Italic

Amrit
Kanjirowa
Mangal
Mangal-Bold
Madan
Kokila

Remember these are few of the Devanagari Unicode fonts and this list will be updated if I get other fonts. Hope this tutorial helped you. If you need further help then please comment. Thank you.
