Nepali fonts: Scarce options amid ever-rising demand

There are more than 55,000 fonts of Latin/Roman alphabets (in which English is written), but there are only a few hundred Devanagari or Nepali fonts. Not many people like typing in Nepali, but the number gets even lower when we think about the actual number of fonts we use while typing Nepali.

But, why is the number of Nepali fonts so low? Does the country lack resources such as skilled human resources? Yes, say veterans of the field.
