"Unable to use" is not informative. Did you install the font? Set the control properties accordingly. And Devanagari should be supported by most modern systems by default. I did not instal anything at all but can clearly see Devanagari text on my system. Try "Arial Unicode MS".

And fix the spelling an casing "Devanagari" in the title! Just looking at your title is painful to my eyes.

Do not use fonts which make 8bit ASCII look like Devanagari or other Indian alphabets! Most questions here on CP involving Indian fonts are based on that outdated scrap. Use a modern Unicode font.
