You have to keep this in appropriate directory and then run mktexlsr. After that you will tell XeTeX or XeLaTeX to use this .tec file.

Re: [XeTeX] TeX in the modern World. (goes OT) Was: Re: Whitespace in input
I don't really understand why this discussion. Have not you read the article in TUG Boat. Don is planning to bring out a new TeX called iTeX*. Actually the * is a sound of bell - ding!! But it may not be free. But it can handle all types of output formats, all languages etc. etc. Don presented this paper in TUG meeting last year - because the TUG volume is a proceedings volume.

Re: [XeTeX] Sanskrit Typesetting
I think you are using the font created by Velthuse. Try using some other font - Mangal or Chandas for example!

Re: [XeTeX] Off topic: Devanagari fonts
Following Unicode free fonts are available for Hindi/Devnagari : Akshar Unicode - not beautiful Chandas - Full font, not only devnagari but all characters needed for typesetting vedas etc. Uttara - Probably a variant of Chandas Nakula and Sahedava - Twin fonts FreeSans - it has Devnagari but not fully working for example फ्र etc. are not coming properly Osha - Guruma - Siddhanta - It has variants like Siddhanta 1, Siddhanta 2, Chakravat, Chakravat 2 Calcutta , Calcutta1, Calcutta 2, Vyakaran and Nepali Sanskrit2003 AA-NagariShri In addition some fonts are available on the Govt. of India's Ministry of Information Technology website (around 50 fonts (including Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)) fromC-DAC etc. organizations. But these fonts also have some problem Just like FreeSans. The fonts mentioned above (for dictionary type work) are sufficient. C-DAC fonts are mostly decorative fonts. -- Happy TeXing The BHU TeX Group क्या आप यह देख पा रहें हैं। इस का मतलब आप का कम्प्यूटर यूनीकोड को समझती है। देर किस बात की हिन्दी मे चिठ्ठियां लिखिये। -- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
Re: [XeTeX] FreeSerif not working for me in Devanagari
The FreeSerif is not a complete font. The font tables for Devnagari are not fully implemented in it. But FreeSans has the necessary tables so it works. I also suggested some corrections which were incorporated in to the FreeSans.

Re: [XeTeX] Fwd: Telugu typesetting
Hmm! I worked with XelaTex and Telugu on Windows platform long back - for testing. There is no problem with pothana2000 font. It was alright. But some other open type Telugu fonts didn't come out well - they are produced by C-DAC. Tikkana, Vemana are well supported. I used telugu (input) - telugu (output).

Re: [XeTeX] Problems in Devanagari typing.
If you see on XeTeX home page you can see my postings on Hindi and Telugu languages. The fonts developed by C-DAC and freely distributed by the Indian Government are not properly made. There were several errors. I reported it to the C-DAC as well as to the GoI - Indian Language Technology Development groups. But there is no response. After some pestering C-DAC people said their fonts are very good and advised me to use Windows Word. There the matter stops. I tried with Mangal and it is working fine. I have not yet tried the other Windows fonts like Aparajita, Utsah, Kokila.

[XeTeX] Polyglossia error in Hindi
Hello There are some mistakes in the gloss-hindi.ldf for example संदर्भ ग्रंथ has been coded as संदर ग्रंथ and पृष्ठ has been coded as पृषठ. I am writing a book on LaTeX in hindi using XeLaTeX. So I am getting the संदर ग्रंथ instead of संदर्भ ग्रंथ. I corrected them in gloss-hindi.ldf still I am getting the error. Please inform where/which file I have to correct so that I can get the correct संदर्भ ग्रंथ in my book! Till date what I wrote I kept it on Scribd - if any body wants to see the book.
