Legacy Nepali font

Preeti is the Nepali typing font that dominated offices and print in Nepal for decades. It is a legacy font: text typed in Preeti uses a pre-Unicode encoding, so it only renders where the font itself is installed. Offices, government paperwork, and older publications still run on it today.
