I have just finished up (I think) a package of TrueType fonts that
include the diacritics needed for Sanskrit and Japanese romanization;
these fonts are based on the MS Arial and Times New Roman fonts and
coded according to the CS standard adopted at the 8th World Sanskrit
Congress (Vienna, 1990); they include regular, italic, bold, and bold
italic type faces. I have made both Windows versions and Mac suitcases
and put them on my ftp site (jhubbard.smith.edu) for anonymous logins
(they are in the root of the /pub directory when you log in). The files
are:
ttskrit2.sit a "stuffed" archive for the mac
ttskrit2.exe a "self-extracting .zip file" for the pc
(A set of HP Laserjet-compatable fonts w/ WordPerfect 5.1/6.0 printer
files, etc. is also available here as wpskrit2.exe.) My ftp site is
flakey at best, and when I am not around to re-boot the system after a
crash it can become unavailable, so no guarantees; I will try to keep an
eye on it. Hopefully the benevolent folks at Indology and Coombspapers
will grab 'em up and make them more widely accessible at their
ftp/gopher/www sites.
I hope that these fonts help out somehow or another . . .
