Re: Devnagari Fonts

Dear Suan Lu Zaw,

Thanks for your kind response. Perhaps I am demanding too much but
I still have the problem of combining consonants. For example,
every devnagari consonant has an assumed "short a" after it. So if
I were to write the "mm" in dhamma, the right side of the first "m"
is left off to show that there is no "a" between them. The fonts I
have tried, including Arial Unicode MS, don't seem to have this
capability, i.e. having special characters for consonant clusters.

Best Wishes,
Paul O'Cuana
