Greetings,
For users of the SKT-series of devanagari fonts:
Ten bug reports and fixes have been added to the \language\sanskrit
subdirectory on CTAN.
A brief description of the bugs are:
BUG01: Added feature: pass the five characters [`!'] through to
roman from within {\skt }.
BUG02: Improve treatment of sa.myoga "gj~n", e.g. in samyagj~naana.
BUG03: Column separators misplaced in pages 23 thru 35 of docs.
BUG04: Poor sa.myoga vertical alignment in bold and feint devanaagarii.
BUG05: Svarita accent fouls the bindu above ~m with option 47 enabled.
BUG06: The preprocessor program exits with code 1 instead of code 0
when there are no errors.
BUG07: Newer versions of LaTeX than I have available (1995/06/01)
complain about the use of accents <u> and <^>, specifically
in producing the docs.
BUG08: Version 2 of relsize.sty (Mar 15, 1995) gives warning messages
that the size requested is too small when using SaamaVeda accents
in transliteration.
BUG09: Nasalised-l, -v, -y use wrong diacritic in transliteration.
BUG10: Problems using SKT with fragile LaTeX commands, e.g. \markboth.
The changes fortunately do not affect the font files, but affect skt.sty
and skt.c (which will need re-compiling).
Regards,
Charles Wikner.
