[INDOLOGY] Adobe & Devanagari works perfectly fine

[Antonia Ruppel]

I know this does not quite address the original question, but given that
good fonts are always of interest: Tiro Devanagari Sanskrit, originally
developed for the Murty Library, is an excellent, aesthetically pleasing
font that allows for full Vedic/accentual notation not just in nāgarī, but
also in transliteration. Combining nāgarī and transliteration in the same
sentence/paragraph also does not cause any issues (such as extra space
between lines, which you get with some other fonts.) It's freely available
here:

All my best,
    Antonia
