Sanskrit Notes While all of the fonts found on the Devanagari (Hindi, Marathi, Nepali) page technically support the display of Unicode Sanskrit documents, the SALRC has created this list of fonts and input methods especially recommended for Sanskrit. A few issues arise in Sanskrit typography that are not present in other Devanagari-based languages: • Specialized ligatures: Sanskrit texts feature a much larger set of conjunct consonants or 'ligatures' than modern vernaculars. Moreover, while it is often acceptable in vernacular typesetting to use 'half-consonant' forms or 'halants' (called 'viramas' in Sanskrit) to create these ligatures, Sanskrit texts have traditionally used more complex representations.

The fonts on this page provide a broader support of complex ligatures than other Devanagari Unicode fonts. • Vedic Accents and Characters: While a number of proposals are currently in the works, the Devanagari tables of the Unicode Standard 4.1 does not provide code points for most Vedic accent marks and other characters. Only Udatta (Ux0951) and Anudatta (Ux0952) accents are included. Among the Unicode fonts we recommend, the 'Sanskrit 2003' font does include Vedic symbols and characters by making use of the 'Private Use Area' of the Unicode Standard. Presuming that conversion utilities will be created for this font should the Unicode Consortium approve a Vedic Accents code point table, we recommend this font be used to represent Vedic accents.
