Re: [xindy] Xindy modules for Hindi and Marathi

[Zdenek W. <zde...@gm...>]

Hi Joachim,
some Devanagari fonts can be found at
http://tdil.mit.gov.in/download/openfonts.htm and WIN means that they
are distributed as self extracting .exe, thus you have to extract them
usin a Win computer but the .ttf files can simply be copied to an
appropriate directory. Some information can also be found at
Wikipedia:
