Hi all,
as far as I know the Devanagari fonts are either Sanskrit with all
conjuncts that cannot be switched off or Hindi without the Sanskrit
conjuncts. The only exception is FreeSerif which takes the Devanagari block
from the Velthuis Devanagari and models the two modes from the "good old"

Dear Zdenek, what you say is borne out by my tests, where the only font
showing a difference between Sanskrit and Hindi is the FreeSerif (the -kti-
conjunct).
(I used the Fontspec/Polyglossia system for language-switching.)

Do other languages that use Devanagari, like Gujarati, use the same
conjuncts as Hindi?
