Hi, I am in Rishikesh to specifically talk to Omkarananda Ashrama regarding the same. Having had the discussion with the Swamiji previously he is definitely open for it if it will help improve the font. Sent from my iPhone > On 19-Jun-2017, at 5:46 PM, ShreeDevi Kumar

Hi all, @Christian Boitet- you are right. Marathi characters are not subsets of the Hindi ones. Firstly, Marathi has two L s unlike Hindi, ल and ळ. On InScript keyboard, the second one is considered as "harsh" L, in the sense that it is obtained by "Shift+ल'. This harsh L appears in Vedic

I should add one more note. Indian languages are complex, the same word may have two or more orthographies and all of them are correct. Even Hindi has two forms in Devanagari, हिंदी and हिन्दी, both are found with more or less the same frequency. There are two forms of independent A, both are in

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"

I've done some more Devanagari font testing, and the results can be viewed here . The TeX code that produced this is in my blog
