Hi All,<br><br> I am going to release lohit-Devanagari today,<br> presently we have Marathi, Hindi, Nepali, Maitreya, kashmiri (Dev), Sindhi (Dev) Devanagari script base fonts, and all are same, there was plan to add/modify respective font as per each language requirement but having a super set is no problem and we are following that presently<br>
But somehow while discussing more on it, i found it we can use only Devanagari font for all without affecting any language other requirement, and also it will be better for development and maintenance as well.<br> In future if we found that two language with same script, requires different representation of same characters either we can use <LANG> tag of Open Type or We can split font that time as per requirement<br>
so to the best of my knowledge there is no problem in using same Devanagari script covering all Unicode characters for all languages using Devanagari script.<br> comment/suggestions are welcome<br><br></blockquote>
</div><div><br></div><div>Before doing that, would you please check if <LANG> tag can be successfully used to distinguish between Marathi and Hindi 'La (ल)', Marathi and Hindi digit '8' on Gnome/KDE. Similarly there would be variations for some Nepali and Kashmiri characters. If possible this would also help solving problems related to traditional and typewriter script of Malayalam. </div>
