[XeTeX] Difficulty with hypenation in Sanskrit with Devanagari

[Neal Delmonico]

Greetings Aku,

Sure.  No problem.  I'm glad to help if I can.  Attached is the header  
file I use for that file.  The header is for a purely Sanskrit (i.e., no  
other language) book with a size of 5 x 8.  If you have any questions or  
suggestions, please don't hesitate.

Best wishes,

Neal
