IndicWoff2

Webfonts for Indic Languages The fonts have been derived from SakalBharati font provided at the below location:

http://cdac.in/index.aspx?id=dl_sakal_bharati_font

Fonts in ttf and Woff2 format. Since ttf fonts are large in size they are relatively hard to use directly on web. So a woff2 format of the same fonts is available for use in the web. woff2 is a compressed versino of the ttf and woff.

##Usage woff2 can be used in a webpage/website by specifying the URL to woff2 file in css. Ex:

@font-face {
    font-family: 'SakalBharati';    //replace SakarBharati with your custom name.
    src: url('RELATIVE-PATH-TO-WOFF2-FILE-FROM-CSS-FILE') format('woff2');
}

div {
    font-family: 'SakalBharati';     //the name that you've used in the @font-face
    font-style: normal;
    font-weight: normal;
}

You may need to check support for @font-face in respective browser documentations.
