Sanskrit font

Sanskrit font in Bhagavad_Gita_As_It_Is.epub (downloaded from here) does not show in my Kobo Aura H20. Using Calibre to do epub-to-epub conversion with "embed all font in document" option did not help. Calibre has KoboTouchExtended and Metadata Reader/Writer plugins installed. I tried some of the steps suggested in this 4-yr old thread, did not help either. I am wondering if someone here has figured this out by now. I use Bookerly font and Kobo software version is updated to the latest (4.7.10413). Thanks for any help.

On my device, also 4.7.10413, the book (as downloaded) is displayed fine. Of course, I did not go through the whole book. Any special character that is missing?
Which of the recommended steps did you follow?

Edit: First I thought you are talking about the transliterated Sanskrit. You should have indicated that you mean the Devanagari version. You need a Devanagari font. I use Sanskrit 2003, which is free.

Yes I meant Devanagari display (English transliterations show fine), sorry about the confusion. Let me try Sanskrit 2003. Thanks.

Update: Just installed Sanskrit 2003 - works perfect (raised the font weight a bit using this patch).
