Dear Prof Dominik Wujastyk
Awesome! This is one of the greatest things I have received. I am grateful to you. You made my burden reduce.
I am attaching the same conjunct list to this email which is searchable. But the list is not having Nuktas

Thanks a lot

Found it!  It was done in 1990 by James E. Agenbroad, and is called "Difficult Characters."  It was presented as a paper at the 33rd International Congress of Asian and North African Studies in Toronto in 1990.  Agenbroad lists 866 conjunct characters.

Dear Harry Spier
Thanks a lot this great. You helped me a lot.
Dear all before creating fonts I was searching a lot for the most used conjuncts in Sanskrit(not Vedic) but could not found, I am glad that Dominik Wujastyk is going to send the list and I am waiting for that. 
And for benefit of others, I am sharing all the important conjuncts here.

Dear Krishnaprasad,
I've attached a pdf of 4 examples of the cluster ṭtr taken from the the paper transcripts of the IFP .  These are handwritten in  the 50's and 60's .  They are by different scribes and they all use virama.  I didn't find any in the IFP transcripts that had the tra underneath, but I stopped searching after these four.

Dear Krishnaprasad Ji,

     I don't have access to a manuscript of Ṣaṭtriṃśattattvasandoha, but here is the title page of the printed book that does not use a cluster of "tra" hanging below "ṭ", but prints just "ṭ" with a virāma sign.

On the other hand, the title page of the edition in the Kashmir Text Series, uses such a vertical cluster:

However, it looks somewhat odd in its appearance to me.

Dear Krishnaprasad Ji,

     Great to see your progress.  A comment.  Some horizontal lines, like that न, look thicker than the top line and lines in some other characters.  The thickness should be uniform.  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.

 modern font technology can help.  OpenType includes some "alternates" or "contextual alternates" features that allow the user (or auto-select) to select from multiple versions of a glyph.  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, manual part IV).
 
I use the FontCreator program from Hi-Logic which allows you to create open type "contextual features".  I've used this feature. 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.
 

Such questions make me wish to consult Naik's classic work Typography of Devanagari (3 vols, 1971 rev. ed.), but I've never had access to a copy of this rare publication.
 
I have this book. (Unfortunately its in storage in New York). Its been 20 years since I looked at it but I recall it was absolutely fascinating.  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.
