nice initiative, I looked into the pdf and it seems that there are two fonts in use Preeti and PCS Nepali. It turns out PCS Nepali has different keymapping than Preeti specifically the numeric layer ie ^=ट , &=ठ , *=ड and so forth which is causing quite a few errors. If it is feasible change the mapping based on the font being used, the conversion should be better.
If it would be quicker to do this manually I can help. I dont have write access to google docs, please do the needful thanks santosh On Wednesday, November 13, 2013 6:19:09 PM UTC+5:45, prawesh wrote: > > Hello all, > > If you look at this constituency > http://election.opennepal.net:8000/#/constituency/39, there are lots of > issues with unicode, which should not have been if the data were available > in proper format.
