Well, I definitely cannot qualify as Sanskrit user, at least not for Devanagari
script (I'm only familiar with Western transliteration), but I took a look on
one of the fonts and loaded in into pfaedit.
As far as I can see it's a TeX font with custom encoding ie. Devanagari letters
are not on their Unicode positions.
I'm not an expert in changing font encodings, so I don't know whether it's
possible, or at least, how much work it takes to transform the font into Unicode
font.
OTOH, I have another Sanskrit font which I downloaded few days ago. It's a full
Unicode font and it has Devanagari letters on their proper places.
So, I assume we need a font with the Unicode encoding (if we are going utf-8
path), but let the other experts (like Richard) tell their opinion.
Sincerely,
Gour
