FYI, there is a font made for the Buddhist Publication Society, maybe
it is useful for this project too:
http://www.sanskritweb.net/fonts/#BPS
This Pali font was custom-made to the specifications of the Buddhist
Publication Society (BPS) in Kandy (Sri Lanka). It covers Pali,
Sanskrit and Sinhala diacritical characters, prosody signs and the
diacritical characters needed for writing in French and German.
The detailed documentation is downloadable as PaPali.pdf.
The font package (4 styles each) downloadable as PaPali.zip contains 3
versions: TrueType (.ttf), PostScript Type 1 (.pfb) and OpenType
(.ot). You may install all 3 versions at the same time. Use the
version that looks best on your PC display screen.
Note: This Pali font happens to include all diacritical characters
required for typesetting Latin textbooks and dictionaries.
