This message was originally submitted by [log in to unmask] to the LLTI
list at LISTSERV.DARTMOUTH.EDU. If you simply forward it back to the list,
using a mail command that generates "Resent-" fields (ask your local user
support or consult the documentation of your mail program if in doubt), it will
be distributed and the explanations you are now reading will be removed
automatically. If on the other hand you edit the contributions you receive into
a digest, you will have to remove this paragraph manually. Finally, you should
be able to contact the author of this message by using the normal "reply"
function of your mail program.

In 10.3, once the Fonts for Additional Languages (selecting the appropriate
fonts, or 'all') have been installed, and Devanagari input method is turned
on, selecting Devanagari as the input method (while using TextEdit, for
example) will cause the font "Devanagari MT" to be selected and all is well.
