Re: [XeTeX] Polyglossia error(s) for Marathi language

[Dominik Wujastyk]

Thank you, Zdenek.  It's exactly as you say.

Sanskrit is a language that is recorded in several different writing
systems.  In Bengal, Sanskrit is written and printed in the Bengali
alphabet.  In Karnataka, it is written and printed in the Kannada
alphabet.  And so on.  About fourteen writing systems are used for writing
and printing Sanskrit language works.

It's like Serbian, which may be written in Cyrillic or in the Latin writing
systems, but more so.

(in my patch file, the %%DW strings in the documentation should be deleted.)

I'm afraid I don't know how to work the pull thing you refer to, so I'd be
grateful if you would do it, Maïeul.  But if it's a problem, I can surely
learn :-)

Best wishes,
Dominik

Re: [XeTeX] Polyglossia error(s) for Marathi language

[Zdenek Wagner]

This is not related to Devanagari as a script but to a language. Sanskrit
was originally written in the Devanagari (or maybe even in Brahmi, I am not
such an expert) but since Hindu and Buddhists texts and prayers use
Snaskrit up to now and people form other parts of the Indian subcontinent
need not know Devanagari, Sanskrit is now written in other scripts. Even
the Tibetan scripts contains charcters not used in the Tibetan language but
they were included so that the Sanskrit texts could be written also in the
Tibetan script. In the textbooks of Snascrit and in dictionaries a Latin
transliteration is used, therefore the support is important. The
modification suggested by Dominik gives an information saying which scripts
are supported by the package so far.

Re: [XeTeX] Polyglossia error(s) for Marathi language

[Dominik Wujastyk]

If there are going to be some edits to polyglossia.dtx, I can offer this
small patch that I've made to my local polyglossia.dtx file.  I would also
be interested in comments or criticisms.

Best,
Dominik

If you do what the message says and type "H" and return then you get
this message

|'''
| The key 'fontspec-opentype/Script' only accepts predefined values, and
| 'Devaganari' is not one of these.
|...

And looking carefully you can see that is says "Devaganari" and not
"Devanagari". 


And when you look into gloss-marathi.ldf you can see the source for
the typo:

\PolyglossiaSetup{marathi}{
 script=Devaganari,
should be Devanagari
