Can you say a little more  about the project.
1) Is this to have different capabilities than SanskritCR (already
available).  https://ocr.sanskritdictionary.com/ . From my brief use of
SanskritCR it seems to work well for printed editions from the first half
of the 20th century.

2) Is it the actual fonts you want, or sanskrit text written in different
fonts.

3) If it's fonts you are looking for, is it unicode fonts you want.  The
reason I'm asking is that the bulk of the literature (older than the last
20 years or so)  typeset by computer would be in non-unicode fonts.

Thanks,
Harry Spier
