I haven't looked yet because the ibus menu told me that sanskrit is harvard rd-kyoto and because I know hk I just used it. I usually use something like this (saw it in one of Zdenek's example files): \newcommand\skt{\catcode`\~=12 \fontspec[Script=Devanagari]{Sanskrit 2003}} so that tilde doesn't bite me. I didn't know RomDev.map which is quite interesting. -- Thanks, Manfred -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
