Re: [XeTeX] Right and left justification for a paragraph
Hello.
There are Tamil hyphenation patterns in TeXLive 2015: hyph-ta.tex written by
Santhosh Thottingal, which is included in the package « hyph-utf8 ». You can
load them through Polyglossia with:
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setdefaultlanguage{tamil}
in your preamble.

Re: [XeTeX] Help
Hello Anant, Sorry about the late reply; for some (yet) unknown reason, I don't receive all messages from the list. I couldn't see your attachment, which was deleted, but I suppose you want to type anudatta and svarita (udatta in Unicode terminology). Those characters don't exist in the keyboard layout which comes with the system but you can customize it using Ukelele: http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsiid=ukelele If you need Unicode codes you might want to have a look at Alan Woods site: http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/#links All relevant characters are in Devanagari, Devanagari Extended and Vedic Extensions. The simplest way is to copy characters on the lists and paste them in the boxes which Ukelele presents you when you modify the output of a key. In case you want to use less common characters (those in Devanagari Extended and in Vedic Extensions), you will need the font Siddhanta; there's a link to it on the page Devanagari Extended. I hope this will be useful. Regards, Yves -- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex

Re: [XeTeX] avagraha+anusvara ligature in devanagari
I know this rule :) But avagraha doesn't stand for any sound, it only marks elision (or contraction) and can be omitted, that's why it can't bear anuswâra, which would explain why fonts don't have any rule to place an anuswâra over an avagraha.

Re: [XeTeX] Incorrect Bengali ZWJ behavior and v2 script spec
Hello. I had forgotten about ZWJ when I tested Devanagari script, because it's not used in Sanskrit, but in Hindi it is. With the tag 'deva' selected, I get the same result as Ian-Mathew: the sequence consonant + virama + consonant is correctly rendered as a conjunct consonant, but the sequence consonant + virama + ZWJ + consonant is rendered the same way, instead of half-form of the first consonant + second consonant. Best wishes, Yves Le 18 mars 2013 à 16:13, Ian-Mathew Hornburg imhornb...@gmail.com a écrit : Hello, and thanks to Khaled and contributors for their great work on this project! I do work in Indic scripts, and XeTeX has been immensely helpful in setting them. I may have identified two possible bugs in 0..0: the release notes indicate that the version-2 OpenType Indic script tags are now supported, and I’ve been testing various Bengali-script fonts with the git version of XeTeX and a current install of TeX Live 2012 to check them for correct shaping behavior. I’ve posted a MWE reproducing some examples from the Microsoft standard here: [http://pastebin.com/mgAX8c7U]. Microsoft ships two Bengali fonts (Vrinda and Shonar Bangla; both v6.80) with Windows 8 that support both the older (beng) and newer (bng2) Bengali script specs. (Older versions of each are shipped with Windows 7 and other Microsoft products.) The fonts behave correctly when using the beng script feature, with the exception of a particular ZWJ sequence: the Microsoft spec [https://www.microsoft.com/typography/OpenTypeDev/bengali/intro.htm] says that the sequence of consonant-hasant-ZWJ-consonant should prevent a ligature of the two consonants, then render a half-form of the first consonant. XeTeX currently fails to suppress the ligature. However, when passing the bng2 script to the fonts, they both fail to render correctly at all. I might guess that something’s going wrong because the font contains both versions of the script tag, and I don’t know what happens on the HarfBuzz side when selecting which script to use when shaping a font.

Friends,
I started using xelatex to typeset article class documents in two languages
using xelatex with help from you all. Earlier I was using Omega
exclusively. When I switched to xelatex, I find that the text is left

this is the default), I have been wondering how to do that in xelatex. I am
giving below a sample of my document. Hope someone can help me in this
matter as you have helped earlier.

Re: [XeTeX] sanskrit hyphenation question
Hello.
Sorry about the late reply.
As Arthur wrote, the choice (1,5) was a mere mistake of mine. I hope it is
forgiven now :) I had in mind (very very rare) cases like ऊर्क्, which are
probably best handled with an \mbox{} if they ever occur at the end of a line.
Later I again suggested 1 for \lefthyphenmin because if you choose 2 it will
allow पि-बति but not प-तति, though there is one akshara on the left of the
break in both cases.
For \righthyphenmin if you choose 2 you will allow breaks like अपत-त्, which is
quite undesirable; that is why I suggested 3.
What do you think?
Best wishes,
Yves

Re: [XeTeX] XeTeX sanskrit : how to sart
Hello, Yves.
Another font you could use is Siddhanta :
http://www.sanskritweb.net/cakram/
It also includes two character ranges, Devanagari Extended and Vedic
Extensions, which were added in Unicode 5.2.
Incidentally (and this is quite off-topic :), Devanagari texts on the site you
mentioned are very faulty: ॊ instead of ो (these are no stylistic variants
but different characters and the first one does not exist in Sanskrit), no
virama under final consonant, and more. For instance the first line:
नारायणं नमस्कृत्य नरं चैव नरॊत्तमम
should be:
नारायणं नमस्कृत्य नरं चैव नरोत्तमम्
You can download a much more reliable text, in Devanagari or transliteration,
on John Smith's site:
http://bombay.indology.info/mahabharata/statement.html

Yves

I don't know the SaSETU font or Sanskrit for that matter. Using Arial

As the error message says, SaSETU does not contain Devanagari.
Remember, there are plenty of Devanagari fonts with custom encodings
that were intended to be used in special applications in the
pre-Unicode era. Such fonts will not work in XeTeX. (It is always
useful to read the error messages, they almost always contain
important infgormation.)
If you do not have good Sanskrit fonts, take them either from John Smith's
page:
http://bombay.indology.info/software/fonts/devanagari/
or you can use GNU FreeSerif (but you need a new version, eg the one
distributed with TeX Live 2012)
Howdy,
I don't see SaSETU on my Mac but I do have Sathu which is a ttf font.

Re: [XeTeX] Help
Hello.
The accents that Chandrasekhar needs do exist in Unicode:
udatta U+0951
anudatta U+0952
There are some more signs in Devanagari Extended:
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/UA8E0.pdf
but according to his post he doesn't need those.
Below is a minimal example which shows udatta and anudatta.

Vedic accents have never been standardised in the Velthuis encoding. A
few macros were designed, the usage is shown in vedasample.dn in the
very same directory. However, Vedic accents are available in unicode,
you can type them directly. I am not sure whether all accents are
available, the Unicode standard says that only some of them are
available.

Re: [XeTeX] Dinosaurs
Hello. I was sent some useful information about hyphenation in Malayalam script and I'm modifying hyph-sa.tex accordingly. If there's a specialist around (dinosaur or mammal, it doesn't matter in this case), it would help me a lot if he could answer the following questions. Can a chillu character occur elsewhere than at the end of a word? What I want to know is if rules about chillus should be (with ൻ as an example): 2ൻ. or more generally: 2ൻ For compatibility reasons, the Unicode standard says that representations prior to 5.1 should be handled as well. But if I type, say, NA + VIRAMA + ZWJ, I don't see a chillu na on my screen, but a na with virama; in other words, when I type the ZWJ it doesn't change anything. Is it because the older representation isn't implemented in my font? Could anybody who has a dinosaurian Malayalam font tell me if he sees a chillu na below? ന് Thanks in advance.

if I replace:

the spacing becomes regular. Is there an option I should add to

You should modify also \baselineskip; try
\baselineskip=36pt
and look at the result. Define
\newenvironment{tibetan}
{\par\linespread{3}\tibetanfont\noindent\ignorespaces}
{\par}
and use the new environment; \linespread{3} corresponds to \baselineskip=36pt
(with the default 10pt size): it sets a multiplication factor. Modify at will.

Re: [XeTeX] Hyphenated, transliterated Sanskrit.
Hello. Le 20 nov. 2010 à 22:12, Arthur Reutenauer a écrit : I'm really not sure what I'm getting as a result. It looks as if it's roman script being hyphenated as if it were Devanagari. The initial a- of several words, like arhasi, gets separated (a-rhasi), which might just about look okay in Nagari, but not in romanisation. Am I actually getting the right thing You're indeed getting what the patterns say. From what I read in hyph-sa.tex, the patterns allow breaks after any vowel (but not inside diphthongs), and forbids them before final consonants or consonant clusters; and that's about it. It's certainly a debatable choice, but it does seem like the patterns really aim at mimicking the way (say) Sanskrit written using Devanagari is hyphenated. You would have to take this up with Yves. Debatable, I'm not sure :) Gustibus et coloribus non est disputandum. Personally I don't mind breaks such as a-rhasi. I know many prefer ar-hasi, but there are some books where you would find a-rhasi. On page 189 of Gray's edition of Vāsavadattā (Delhi, 1962), for instance, I can see: ...nirmu-kta..., ...ku-ṭṭimam. So, for a start, I did exactly what Arthur described, I chose the easy way. But I can add rules allowing a break after the first consonant of a consonant cluster. If there are rules such as: a1 ... r3h you should get ar-hasi rather than a-rhasi without having to modify hyphenmins. Why do I have to pretend that this is Devanagari (\devanagarifont)? This is by design in polyglossia (see gloss-sanskrit.ldf). You would have to take this up with François. (And I'm the one responsible for integrating hyph-sa.tex into hyph-utf8.

Re: [XeTeX] word breaking in languages like telugu, sanskrit
Hello.
With XeLaTeX, if you use the package polyglossia, hyphenation
patterns (included in the package hyph-utf8) corresponding to the
language you select will be applied. For instance:
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setdefaultlanguage{sanskrit}
\newfontfamily\sanskritfont[Script=Devanagari]{Sanskrit2003}
I can see that hyph-utf8 has patterns for several other Indian
languages:
http://www.tug.org/svn/texhyphen/trunk/hyph-utf8/tex/generic/hyph-utf8/patterns/tex/
which will be part of the next TeX Live. And François will certainly
be willing to add support for those languages to his polyglossia.

As well as improving the examples already there, I'd like to eliminate the use of any non-free fonts so that others can compile the manual without trouble. I've got a few areas I'm stuck on, since my font repertoire isn't very large. 1. Does anyone know of any free fonts that have optical size variants? 2. I'm looking for examples which use (and don't need too many explanations) the following features: - Contextual swashes (cswh) - Uppercase spacing/kerning (cpsp) - Historical style (hist) For the last feature you could use a Greek font which includes it, for instance Alexander, that you can download here: http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/ If you typeset the word λόγου with and without 'hist' you will see a difference. I hope this helps. Best wishes, Yves -- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
