Pali in Brahmi Script

Post by vinodh »

Hey Guys,

I have just got a good working font for Asokan Brahmi from Xenotypetech here.

http://www.xenotypetech.com/osxBrahmi.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

If you guys need any Pali Text in Brahmi, post them here.

Do note that, the font doesn't support all conjuncts in the Brahmi script. It support only very few conjuncts. If the text had no conjuncts it would be better.

It seems that the Prakrit of Asokan Inscription writes that as dhaMma - with an anusvAra rather than doubling the consonant.

The Xenotype font doesn't support the double consonant rendering sorry.

Okay, cool it looks like the original drawing I did was not too far off then for the Brahmi script.
