Devanagari Nepali Variant 5

Description of problem:
Nepali language a different glyph variant for 5 and 8. They don't use the
default glyph - these ५ and ८. So, newer glyph should be developed for Nepali
Language. And they should be by default for Nepali Locale. I have attached the
screenshot of nepali variant devanagari numerals of 5 and 8. Unlike
India(judging from Indian Hindi Language TV) Nepali makes heavy use of
Devanagari Numerals. Roman numerals are not used, so this is an issue of high
importance.

Yes! I have installed madan-fonts. They are fine but as Lohit Hindi is now
Lohit Devanagari it should have variants for Languages.

The updated version of lohit-devnagri-fonts have the updated glyph for ५ and ८,
but still it does not look so good. Can we have a similar glyph from the font
Madan2 (available as package madan-fonts)?

I have included a comparison with one "good looking" glyph and the newer glyph.
Hope this helps the designer.

we cant copy madan characters directly, as style of Madan and Lohit is
different

Lohit is Sans fonts with uniform width characters. Madan is Serif

As a Nepali Language speaker i will appreciate patch from you for this, or let
me know how can we improve it aesthetically 

See fontforge for improving shape in font file

For just a fact, I have seen this glyph in some Hindi book too. So this can a
variant of ५ along with default for Nepali locale.
BTW: Pravin! can you please tell any trick to open gedit in ne_NP locale
without logging out in current session ?
