[XeTeX] Help

Hello Aku,

I think the keyboard layouts which come with the system don't allow to type svarita or anudatta. But you can use Ukelele to customise them.

http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=ukelele

In the disk image you will find a folder named "System Keyboards" and inside it two Devanagari keyboard layouts: "Devanagari" (i.e. Inscript) and "Devanagari-QWERTY". You only have to open the one you prefer with Ukelele and add the character(s) you need.

Best wishes,

Yves

Personally I stopped using romanised inputs since it became as easy to विश्व॒दानी॑म् type in Devanagari as in Latin script on my system (Mac OS X), that is to say many years ago, I don't remember exactly :) You might want to try on yours.
