Description
As many of you will know, we have put together many tools and resources to aid in the input of transliterated Sanskrit and Bengali. At gkWiki - Unicode_fontsyou'll find a list of Unicode fonts that support all, or most, of the diacritic character set needed for complete transliteration of Sanskrit and Bengali (with our extended character range). If you find more fonts that have the required characters, please let us know!
