As far as I know, no one has ever done any work to support Devanagari scripts in GNU troff. I also don't know much about the topic, except that it involves issues around glyph combination (crudely, "ligatures") that many people exposed only to Western languages or even Han characters find surprising. It's therefore possible that proper support might require changes to the formatter, or perhaps just support for TTF and/or OTF font format files. The latter would deliver benefits to users of all scripts, of course. Ali Gholami Rudi's neatroff project[1] supports Farsi, which I think addresses some of the same requirements that Devanagari scripts have that traditional troffs don't satisfy, but not, to my limited knowledge, all of them. Can you contribute skills to this area? Regards, Branden [1] https://github.com/aligrudi/neatroff
