Similarly, the knot for न, म, भ etc. should look exactly the same, and it should look the same whether it appears in full or half forms of these characters.

But I'm sure you know this.  And it's only certain advanced text-setting programs like TeX that allow one to access such features easily (e.g., through fontspec <https://ctan.org/pkg/fontspec?lang=en>, manual part IV).

I use the professional product which retails for $199.00 but their website says that the Home edition for $79.00 also has this feature (but the home edition cannot be used for commercial purposes).  The program only works on windows.

As I recall  one volume gives examples of devanagari printing from the earliest printed editions up till fairly modern times (when it was published), another volume  describes the authors ideas for a devanagari typewriter and the third volume focuses on some esoteric ideas of the author.  I can't recall the details.
