[Tugindia] tugindia Digest, Vol 230, Issue 1

[S. venkataraman]

I am using lualatex.  Here is a minimal working example.


\documentclass{article}\tracinglostchars=3\usepackage[english,
bidi=basic]{babel}\usepackage{fontspec}
\babelprovide[import=hi, onchar=fonts ids]{hindi}
\babelfont{rm}
          [Ligatures={Common, TeX}]{Noto Serif}\babelfont[hindi]{rm}
          [Scale=MatchUppercase]{Noto Serif Devanagari}
\begin{document}

This is a test.

यह एक परीक्षा है।\end{document}

As you can see I am using Babel.  Because of this no font switching

command.


You can change the font if you want.  But the Noto family is free,

available from Google.  They are available in many variants and weights.

Hope this helps. *Compile the file with lualatex instead of xetex.*

Best,
