*  ROMANISED SANSKRIT TRUE TYPE FONT FOR WINDOWS APPLICATIONS *
***************************************************************

About of the file "sanskrit.zip" 

This is a simple Times Roman type of Font, but with the necessary 
diacritical marks for printing Sanskrit and Pali text. It is TTF format, 
and can be loaded using the normal Windows Control Icon Fonts manager. 

*******************************
* ACTUAL POSITION OF LETTERS  *
*******************************

The keys are actually laid  out to avoid using common letters, so that, 
if desired it can be used with other text too. In most cases there is an 
easy association between the key the letter is on and the letter itself. 
Alternatively you can use the more logically laid out WordPerfect for 
Windows Keyboard I also include, but the font can, of course, be used 
with any Windows application that can accept TrueType fonts.

Sanskrit WordPerfect Keyboard (in the same zip file) 

*********************************************************
* POSITION ON WORDPERFECT FOR WINDOWS SANSKRIT KEYBOARD *
*********************************************************

You will find with the Sanskrit Keyboard the characters are allocated so 
that long vowels are found on th CTRL-letter, as are the characters with 
dots below (and m with dot above). The guttural n is found on the CTRL-K 
and the palatal n on the CTRL-C. (This is logical to any Sanskrit/Pali 
scholar.) Finally the s with stroke above is found on CTRL-Z, and the 
extra capital letters are found on the CTRL-SHIFT of the appropriate 
letter. 

Sukhi hotu!
