LANGUAGE: Sanskrit, Hindi, Marathi: "Avanti," "Kashi"
PRICE: $40. ("I contribute the net proceeds to a student assistance
fund.")
OPERATING SYSTEM: Mac.
COMMENT: "Avanti was made by me in 1985 (slightly improved in 1988)
for dot-matrix printers; it is a considerably improved version
of what George Hart (Univ. of California, Berkeley) had
accomplished. A logical assignment of Nagari letters to the
Roman keyboard, one that speeds up typing and learning, is my
other main contribution. That the font prints well even on
laser printers is something that still surprises me. It is,
for example, the type used for Devanagari text matter in my
book *Sanskrit: an Easy Introduction to an Enchanting
Language*. The diskette also includes the Roman fonts "Ganga"
and "Sindhu" which can be used for transliteration of most
literary languages of South Asia" (--Author).

Jaisalmer; it includes a very large number of conjuncts for
Sanskrit which can only be accessed through dead key
combinations. Extensive documentation" (--Author).

dingbats; also a bit-mapped version. It has a very large set,
so many of the characters are only availible through deadkey
combinations. The real strength of the script is its
orientation towords DTP applications that revolve around
traditional Hindustani musical notation" (--Author).

"Manjushree-CSX," follows the CSX coding, but has a lot more
diacritics.

typography of Nirnayasagara press. The Manjushree-CSX font
looks like Times-Roman. All three fonts are of the best
publishing quality if used with a high resolution laser
printer" (--Author).

standard TrueType fonts for Windows or PostScript Type 1 fonts
for Windows. The fonts work with both PostScript and non-
PostScript printers and any type of printer supported under
Windows. The fonts offer unrestricted portability and total
freedom for use across platforms and applications.
PRICE: The price of the 1,516 type fonts on a CD-ROM disk with full
written instructions is only $125 plus $5 for shipping and
handling. Until May 1, 1995, the price will be $100 plus $5
for shipping and handling. Visa and Mastercard are accepted.
COMMENT: "The keyboard layouts for these fonts follow the ISCII
(Indian Script Code for Information Exchange) standard. 1,516
fonts are included in the package: 758 TrueType fonts and 758
PostScript Type 1 fonts, which support the computing and
writing systems for over 25 languages of South Asia" (--
Author).
"I have, after careful checking, found more
unsurmountable problems. It has problems with individual
fonts, keyboard mapping to the most familiar IBM/Qwerty
standard format, lack of support and pertinent documentation
vis-a-vis hardware compatibility, unprofessional designing of
some of the individual fonts. I have downgraded my earlier
product grade to C-" (--Sid Harth <BAKULA at delphi.com>).
"Also, the fonts have the vowel diacritics written
together with the consonants, which makes it a real doozie to
type, unless one sets up an extended and complicated series of
macros. Another problem is that the coding for the font
titles is not really spelled out...all come up as Truetype on
the icon, but sometimes come up PostScript in reality. It is
much easier to use the Ecolinguistics fonts, though they are
much more costly. On the other hand, these include TrueType
Tamil, which I haven't found elsewhere, and Malayalam. They
are also very nice in appearance...at least the ones that I
accessed" (--Jim Gair <jwg2 at cornell.edu>).
