Well, I've seen Cyrillic fonts and Hebrew fonts, but I have yet to see
a Devanari Sanskrit font. Doesn't anybody on the net speak this popular
language? (:-) If anybody has information about such a font, I would
appreciate knowing about it.
I would also be interested in a font with the appropriate diacritical
marks for transliteration of Sanskrit (over bars, over tildes, over and
under dots, accents).
Thanks,
Scott Anderson

I started a project two years ago to put a sanskrit font
on the Lisa, to demonstrate multi-font capabilities on
a bit-mapped computer. To my surprise, there has been
considerable interest in continuing development in this
area.
A year ago Apple donated some computers to Prof George
Hart in the Dept. of South Asian Studies at U.C. Berkeley
after he submitted a proposal to further the work. He now
has the following fonts available:
Devanagari
Tamil
Tibetan
You can get copies of the fonts along with further information
by sending a check for $10 made out to
"Regents of the University of California" to:
Professor George Hart
Dept. of South Asian Studies
1203 Dwinelle Hall
University of California
Berkeley, CA 94720
Also, if there is sufficient interest, I will post these
fonts on the net. They are in the public domain, but may
not be sold.
