Prof Madhav Deshpande Ji

Thanks a lot for the feedback. Yes, we will work for the conjuncts to make it similar to Nirnaya Sagara, and also could you please give an idea about the specific conjunct that you are thinking good. Very valuable information about the MSS, luckily we can retain both types, that is षट्त्रिंशत् and ta going under.

Could please send the image of the letter from MSS if it is not too hassle for you.

One more thing is we are trying to make both versions, that is with gaps between characters and without gaps.

Thanks 

KP

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.
