I absolutely agree! I have also written such a script (and library) some
years ago in Perl. After adopting XeTeX I also wanted my input files to be
more readable. It is available here:

It supports the convertion of pretty much all accents, macros, diacritic
I have experimented with a number of fonts in XeTeX for Indological use, with
mixed results. If one wants to have a pleasant and clear distance between the

Please do not use the traditional TeX codes for the Indic diacritics (things
like \={a} etc.)! One of the big advantages of XeTeX is precisely that it uses
Unicode. This means that your input file can be typed using any
Unicode-supporting text editor (I use TeXShop on a Mac, TeXworks on Linux).
Very nice. Thanks, François. The active char hack. I've used it often :-)

I think both Junicode and LM have charsets that cover Indological use
well. Personally, I'm not so keen on Times-like fonts, so I tend not to
use Junicode. I have done books with CM (<>LM) fonts in the past, and I
have the highest respect for Don Knuth's work and the Modern style, but

In addition to the other fonts that have been mentioned here, version
2 of the STIX fonts, due out later this year, should provide a very
attractive option:

They also have a less restrictive license than even the Brill fonts.

Searchability has nothing to do with input. I can input \v{c} and the
generated PDF will contain č. There are cases where macros are needed.

Dear Dominik,
Do you have any opinion on Junicode or Latin Modern for transliteration
from Indic languages?

Dear Juergen,
Nice to see you here (I just read your 2011 I. Taurinensia paper last
night!).
Yes, you are right, some fonts just don't have the right characters in
them. Some of the font "pigeonholes" are empty. If you make the character
with a TeX macro (\.n) then usually things work even if th

The problem is that I need diacritics for Indian languages. In
