Devanagari Fonts (Letters Lost)

Tagore · Jan 24th, 2004, 15:29

Guys, I need to print a book in Russian about India, but can't find a full (with all the ligatures) font. I've attached the ones I really miss, maybe somebody could help me or give a link.

I am not sure that's what you need, but you might want to take a look... In "Moskva" book shop, there is a Hindi text-book (in Russian)

Oh, sorry. I'm an idiot. You need a computer font...

Anything else? For example two variants of writing "a"? I've seen over the net only the first of them, but there is another one in the old books...

Go to this link and download the freeware package itranslator99 or 2003. I have not used it for Hindi but most sanskrit sites seem to favour it nowadays.

Another huge source for Sanskrit devanaagari fonts is here.

Avid,

Not all the ligatures are there included. I converted shri with the itranslator2003 and it gave a ligature that would be never used in a book - never ever.

Tagore, if you write to them i am sure they will incorporate your ligatures at some time in the future. The entire Veda and associated Sanskrit literature seem to be favouring this software. many of your ligatures have fallen into disuse; pro'lly why they haven't included it. As far as shri is concerned, type shrii in the Itranslator and see that you will get the classical shree with which every book starts!!

This is another very good page .... try it out. To my limited viewing some of your ligatures are not available anywhere. I am involved in printing Vedic verses... so even I have to conjure up the right ligature.... use a bit of imagination.... there is a separate "more ligatures" secn in the Itrans99 files.

hey, I am a Hindi and English editor. I still haven't understood what you want. I use the "mangal" font. and we downloaded the micrsoft keyboard thing on our comps.

you could possibly be confused. i am not sure. For example a "tva" cannot be found in isolation on the keyboard. You have to punch in three keys. "t" "half" "v". then it looks like the scan you've shown. Some i couldn't get. Maybe you can elaborate. See if this works.
