Hi Zdenek!

Gargi will look similar to FreeSans, as FreeSans is based on that font.

I have widened the space between the two verticals in these glyphs.

In SVN.

Devanagari characters U+0906, U+0911, U+0912, U+0913, U+0914 are not readable at print sizes (12 pt and below). Mainly U+0906 is not distinguishable from U+0905. The attached files (PDF and XeLaTeX source) contain two Hindi sentences typeset in several free fonts. It can be seen that Gargi has the same problem while in other fonts the width of the space between the two vertical stems is approximatelly twice the stem width.
