Dear Colleagues
A question about XeLaTeX and the font Devanagari MT.
In order to produce Sanskrit editions in devanāgarī script with several layers of apparatus, I use XeLaTeX.
My font of choice is Devanagari MT, but running XeLaTeX on an input file that calls this font does not always produce good ligatures. It sometimes uses a virāma under the first consonant instead of joining it with the subsequent one.
I have found, with help from Dominic Goodall, the XeTeXglyph numbers for almost all of the problematic cases. For example a correct devanāgarī ddva is produced by typing \XeTeXglyph286. But these are the remaining problematic cases I have:
dba
ṅna
ṅga
ṅka
Would anyone happen to know what the XeTeXglyph numbers are for these? Or know how I could find out?
Yours
Alex
