I know this does not quite address the original question, but given that good fonts are always of interest: Tiro Devanagari Sanskrit, originally developed for the Murty Library, is an excellent, aesthetically pleasing font that allows for full Vedic/accentual notation not just in nāgarī, but also in transliteration. Combining nāgarī and transliteration in the same sentence/paragraph also does not cause any issues (such as extra space between lines, which you get with some other fonts.) It's freely available here:
