Description Madhava 2006-06-09 12:23:51 UTC

Would be awesome to get the following glyphs for the next release:

ḏ ẏ Ḏ Ẏ (D with line under, Y with dot over)

Here are the Unicode locations in Decimal HTML ents:

&#7695; - _d
&#7823; - 'y

&#7694; - _D
&#7821; - 'Y

They are featured in the XHK (eXtended Harvard-Kyoto) and (XIAST eXtended IAST)
transliteration systems developed for easing the input of both Bengali and
Sanskrit scripts. They will be released within the week along with our Wiki on
Gaudiya Vaisnava and Indic religion, and our transliteration converter
gkwiki:diCrunch (at http://wiki.gaudiyakutir.com/diCrunch.php ). 

DejaVu is the default font used in the Wiki and in our tools, recommended to our
 users - I only wish these two characters found support...

Thanks - keep up the good work!

In case it is of interest, here are the specs for the XHK transliteration
convention itself:

Setting component to Mono Sans because those characters are already in DejaVu
Sans and Serif fonts.

Comment 3 Madhava 2006-06-11 15:25:52 UTC

Yes - thank you, I notice that now! How odd, the fonts must have not gotten
replaced when I supposedly updated for the latest release. I have now updated
our pages to reflect this, and again thank you for the good work.

Comment 4 Denis Jacquerye 2006-06-11 16:19:20 UTC

Just committed the addition to Mono Sans fonts.
Closing the bug. 
The characters still need instructions but that's on the TODO list. File a bug
if they look wrong at some sizes.

Wow - well that was fast!
