Jonathan,
I recd a .tex file from Somadeva and some
instructions: I now have much better understanding of
what needs to be done.
Therein, I learned of the necessity of putting
\font\dnA="Devanagari MT:script=deva" at 11pt in the
preamble and then inputting text with a delimiter such
as {\dnA
à¤
सà¥à¤¤à¥à¤¯à¥à¤¤à¥à¤¤à¤°à¤¸à¥à¤¯à¤¾à¤} with
the Devanagari-QWERTY palette, and a couple of other
things.
As a newbie learning along the way as advised by
Lamport's book, I was in need of this spoon-feeding
which I did not find on the XeTeX site.
In any event, I thank you for your work!
What a contribution!
I have been longing for devanag output for 2 years!!
Thanks again!
