Re: [NTG-context] Credit in DTK
Hi Hraban, Wir könnten versuchen, weiter in Richtung Kirgisisch oder Georgisch zu gehen (eine Sprache, die für mich so obskur ist wie Aramäisch), nur um zu zeigen, dass Fragen der Silbentrennung nicht nur von Indianisten oder hellenistischen Experten ernst genommen werden, sondern von denen, die ConTeXt verwenden wollen . Dieser junge Ingenieur, der an seiner Statistik-Diplomarbeit arbeiten muss, ist ein Sinnbild: ConTeXt ist für die unterschiedlichsten Menschen attraktiv. Das Werk von Garulfo (ein Beispiel unter vielen) hat dies einst hervorragend demonstriert. Meine Idee war, keine mehrsprachige Antwort zu machen, sondern eine MWE mit ConTeXt in mehreren verschiedenen Sprachen (immer noch unter der Überschrift Paralleltext mit mehreren Klassenstufen), aber ConTeXt beschwert sich ... We could try to go further towards Kyrgyz or Georgian (a language which is as obscure to me as Aramaic), just to show that questions of hyphenation are taken seriously not only by Indianists, or Hellenist experts , but by those who want to use ConTeXt. This young engineer who has to work on his statistics thesis is a symbol: ConTeXt is attractive to a wide variety of people. The work of Garulfo (one example among many others) once demonstrated this excellently. My idea was not to do a polyglot answer, but a MWE with ConTeXt in several distinct languages (still under the heading parallel text with several grade levels), but ConTeXt complains...

Adishila is a great font too and comes in many more styles (letter press, etc)
than Shobhika. However the latter has more conjuncts. For example:
ङ्क्ल
ङ्ग्ध्व
appear as halant forms in Adishila while they are proper conjuncts in
Shobhika. Of course, these are rare conjuncts, so …
Anyway, in ConTeXt Adishila works well with
features=devanagari-one

It is very much an ongoing effort. I am working on some proper documentation
soon to serve as a guide for fonts (what works, what doesn't, fixes, hacks,
etc). But mostly it is in a very usable state (for the most part).
I am very much a non-expert and helping in very little ways. It is Hans in the
background who is doing all the really important things with the code, design
and engineering of the system. So really, we should thank him!

When using these fonts regularly, one notices very erratic formatting
phenomena that must have to
do with the Devanagarī font, or its interaction with (Xe)TeX. Perhaps
this is the same phenomenon
seen from the user side.
In my case things improved when I switched to Adishila (in XeTeX):
\newfontfamily\sanskritfont[Script=Devanagari,Mapping=RomDev,Scale=1.45]{AdishilaSan}
This is, to my taste, the nicest Sanskrit font, but it is difficult to
decide between Adishila and
Shobhika.
The Murty font is also quite good, but it is commercial and cannot be
used for book production. I
asked whether there was a way to get a licence, but at the time this
was impossible. But the font
team there recommended ``Sanskrit Text'' (Sansk.ttf) which is one of
their products that made it
into a Microsoft Windows Standard font (I am not using Windows). It is
also very good, but Adishila
works better for me.
I cannot say how thrilled I am about the Indic support, thanks a lot
to Kaushika!
Best

Is there a font out there that supports all these scripts in one font?
Shobhika font is a free font that has some of the largest number of glyphs
(i.e has many conjuncts) for the Devanagari script.
https://github.com/Sandhi-IITBombay/Shobhika
The font also has a good Latin component based on PT Serif. This Latin part
has good support for the roman (IAST) transliteration for Sanskrit. But
strictly only the IAST spec character for Sanskrit are available.
It also has glyphs for some commonly used mathematical symbols.
Noto Serif Devanagari is also decent for just Devanagari (not sure
of the IAST
part).
As for Sans typefaces, Mukta Devanagari is a free font:

Of these, Shobhika has the best conjunct coverage. I will shortly update the
wiki with a much more exhaustive list and report here.
