Felix, what a great work, what a table. I will reuse it in my Reverse Dictionary of Sanskrit, if you do not mind. Is the TeX Unicode?

Thanks, Marcis! Yes, it’s all unicode. Feel free to use the table or any part of the paper.

I actually updated the paper yesterday night (check the new version of the pdf and the tex file), because I discovered that Google’s Noto font family actually has a glyph for “vedic tone yajurvedic kathaka independent svarita” (U+1CD7). So, I switched from SIL Annapurna to Noto Serif Devanagari. Which means that Cappeler’s śapathyà is now rendered correctly. (I also changed the sentence in the paper stating that no widely available font supports U+1CD7, to the statement that only Google Noto supports it.

not even http://svayambhava.blogspot.ru/p/siddhanta-devanagariunicode-open-type.html ?

I've seen Noto Serif Devanagari before, it's fine.

Feel free to use the table or any part of the paper.

Thanks.

That has it too, very nice font! I’m not sure what the non-commercial option of the cc licence implies for fonts (for text and music it is a pain, e.g. not compatible with wikipedia), but some of the things he states after specifying the licence seem to contradict the licence itself.

I wish he would have licensed it with OFL ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIL_Open_Font_License), that would make things so much more clear-cut.

Use it as it is. I know Mihas. He will be glad. In Russia we do not care much about such stuff. That's why for us MIT, GNU or OFL - all equal, who cares. So Mihas has made 3 fonts, all should have your mark.
