devanagari fonts

[gravertom]

hello all,

Anyone have a good recommendation for an easy to use Devanagari font, similar to the ones on the HI website? I eventually want to engrave some names and text on some of my Khukuris, and want it to look right.

Also, any advice on "translating" personal names would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Tom

My daughter went to the library and found a huge book in the reference section that had all the devanagari fonts listed. Might try looking there.

"Dr. Berlin's Foreign Font Archive--Simulated Foreign Fonts"

Keith,

I downloaded two of those fonts. I think that may work well enough, since they are readable and look cool. I would like to get the genuine fonts too, but translating names can be difficult. besides that, not too many could read it.

Thanks again!

Tom

Here a link for the devnagari fonts.http://www.abhivyakti-hindi.org/abhi/hindi_shusha_fonts_dl_help.htm.
The same page has a keyboard map too which shows you how to type with this font.If you need anything translated I could give it a shot.
Yaj.
