He was a very fine calligrapher of Indian scripts, one of> the sole practitioners of this art that I know in modern India. His study> of the history of script was also important and unique. While his> contribution to computer encoding was well-received in the contemporary> Indian computing world, it was his deep knowledge of the history of script> and his extraordinary and beautiful skills as a calligrapher that uniquely> distinguished his work. It is good to know that his vision of Indian> script lives on in the typographic designs of many new Indic fonts.> > Dominik Wujastyk> > > > Wed, 6 Feb 2008, JAGANADH GOPINADHAN wrote:> > > Dear friends> > Prof R.K Joshi who initiated for the Vedic Sanskrit Encoding , passed away.> > He was a visiting professor in C-DAC.
