Dear Krishnaprasad Ji,

     Both Vani Vilas and Nirnaya Sagara fonts look good, the conjuncts look better in the Nirnaya Sagara font, but you can design them in the Vani Vilas as well.  Great work.  About the conjuncts in Dominik's ṣaṭtriṃśat, I wonder what is the practice in the manuscripts.  I don't remember seeing a conjunct where त or त्र hangs below ट.  In this case, perhaps writing षट्त्रिंशत् may be closer to the practice of the manuscripts.  This needs to be checked, perhaps in the manuscripts of the Ṣaṭtriṃśat-tattva-sandoha.  With best wishes,

Looks very good to me. I imagine you'll work on ṣaṭtri-  But everything else looks really nice. 

I used to have a document - from decades ago - that surveyed all the sandhyakṣaras ever used in printing.  I'll try to find it.

Best,
Dominik

I *really* like the Vani Vilas font.  It has the little tiny inter-aksara spaces in the matra line.  And look at the word durlabha दुर्लभ near the end of the passage: Vani Vilas is the only one that manages that rl+bha elegantly.  It's stunning.  I'm normally unwavering about my preference for Sanskrit 2003, but Vani Vilas may be taking the throne.  Does it support complex conjuncts, kārtsnya, ṣaṭtriṃśat, prasanna, śakti, etc.?
