Re: [XeTeX] misaligned math if \smash used in subscripts

Hi, just to point out that there is interesting effect if the very first \smash. is simply replaced by an x \hrule $$ \hbox{$\left)\vbox to15pt{}\right.$}_{x} % or also _{\hbox{x}} \hbox{$\left)\vbox to15pt{}\right.$}_{\smash.} \hbox{$\left)\vbox to15pt{}\right.$}_{\smash.} $$ \hrule

Re: [XeTeX] Mixed Roman and Indian alphabets for Sanskrit

As already mentioned, Script=Devanagari switches the correct shaping of the font so that ki appears as कि and not as क followed by ि matra. Try to enter किताब with and without it and you will see the difference. Zdeněk Wagner http://ttsm.icpf.cas.cz/team/wagner.shtml http://icebearsoft.euweb.cz

Re: [XeTeX] Mixed Roman and Indian alphabets for Sanskrit

Nice to see you here, Alessandro! Many thanks for your code. So it's the \begin{sanskrit} that switches on the correct hyphenation. And the string "devanagari" in \devanagarifont is the same as switching on [Script=Devanagari], I guess. So for the common situation like this: संस्कृतभाषा

So why does Polyglossia make \devanagarifont and \sanskritfont equivalent? There should be no such entity as \sanskritfont. Sanskrit isn't a font or a script, it's a language. ​ -- Professor Dominik Wujastyk ​,​ Singhmar Chair in Classical Indian

Re: [XeTeX] Mixed Roman and Indian alphabets for Sanskrit

Yes, exactly. I'm using this newcommand to get devanagari with Sanskrit hyphenation: \newcommand{\dn}[1]{\textsanskrit{\devanagarifont{#1}}} I also use this for occasional romanized Sanskrit passages within English prose, to switch the hyphenation from English to Sanskrit and also get the
