[XeTeX] Numbering in Devanāgarī while using XeTeX

[Alastair M. Paterson]

  Hi!

I've had a similar problem but wasn't sure whether it was a XeTeX issue 
in your case, or whether the solution was specific to the particular 
macros I was using, but this works for me.

You may have something like:

   \def\regular{"Kalimati:script=deva;+abvs;+blws;+calt;mapping=devnums"}

to define a font.

The key may be the 'mapping' option.

This refers to a couple of files that must have the same name as the 
options and have the extension .map and .tec so in this case they would 
be devnums.map and devnums.tec. Different systems may have different 
versions of this with different names.

If you go to the location where XeTeX is installed, look for

<xetex directory>\fonts\misc\xetex\fontmapping

See if there is anything there that might be related to a Devanagari 
mapping. If not, let me know. If there is, then write the filename into 
the font definition as above.

Hope this helps.
