Introduction

1. "Itranslator" by Swami Satchidananda (http://www.omkarananda-ashram.org/Sanskrit/Itranslt.html)

Itranslator, developed by Swami Satchidananda, converts ITX encoded files to Transliteration and Devanagari and is best suited for the conversion of ancient Classical and Vedic Sanskrit texts. With some technical restrictions, Itranslator can also be used for the conversion of modern Hindi/Marathi/Nepali texts.

- The Itranslator programs are downloadable from the above Omkarananda Ashram website.
- The Technical Manuals to the Itranslator programs are downloadable from this website.

Itranslator is available in two different versions:

Itranslator 99 (new version 1.3.0.86, September 2004), designed for classical non-OpenType TrueType fonts (and also for PostScript Type 1 fonts), is available since October 2002 (revisions of Itranslator 99 were published in January and May 2003 and in September 2004). Itranslator 99 was designed with the greatest program compatibility in mind. Itranslator 99 works with almost any old and new versions of Windows (e.g. Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, etc.) and almost any old and new versions of Word Processors (e.g. Word 6.0, Word 97, Word XP, Word 2003 etc.). For more details see the "Technical Manual of Itranslator 99", downloadable as ITmanual99.pdf. See also the Addendum.

Note: The old Itranslator 98 published in 1998 should not be used any longer. It is incompatible with Windows XP and was replaced by the new Itranslator 99 published in 2002. However, there still exist many Sanskrit texts encoded with old Itranslator 98 fonts.

Itranslator 2003 (new version 2.0.0.38, September 2004), designed for modern OpenType TrueType fonts, is available since 15th December 2003 (revisions of Itranslator 2003 were published in January and September 2004). Itranslator 2003 is compatible only with Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows 2000 with international language support, and only compatible with Word XP (Word 2002/2003) and other Uniscribe-compliant word processors. This means that Itranslator 2003 does not work with older versions of Windows, nor does not work with older versions of Word.  For more details on compatibility issues see the "Technical Manual of Itranslator 2003", downloadable as ITmanual2003.pdf. See also the Addendum.
 

2. "URW Palladio" by URW++ Design & Development GmbH (http://www.urwpp.de)

The font company URW++ Design & Development GmbH, Hamburg, and the world-famous typographer Prof. Hermann Zapf, Darmstadt, generously donated Prof. Zapf's font URW Palladio to Ulrich Stiehl, Heidelberg, granting him permission to adapt and to add diacritical characters not contained in Prof. Zapf's original URW Palladio and to offer specialized URW Palladio diacritics fonts to Indologists free of charge. All Latin diacritics fonts of Itranslator are based on URW Palladio.


URW Palladio IT
.
(Transliteration Font for Itranslator 99)

The software Itranslator 99 converts ITX (= Indian Text Exchange) encoded files to

a) Transliteration files using the font URW Palladio IT
b) Devanagari files using the font Sanskrit 99

The ITX encoding as well as the fonts URW Palladio IT and Sanskrit 99 are described in every detail my comprehensive "Technical Manual of Itranslator 99", downloadable as ITmanual99.pdf.

The transliteration font URW Palladio IT comes in 4 styles - Roman, Italic, Bold and Bold Italic.

The keyboard layout of Palladio IT, viewable in high quality as PaITps.pdf, is shown on following chart:

Yellow: Sanskrit diacritics in lowercase and uppercase. NB: Itranslator uses lowercase letters only.
Cyan: Vedic accents: Floating accents, used as deadkey accents and placed on the preceding letter.
Green: Additional diacritics required for transliteration of Hindi/Marathi according to ISO 15919.

The TrueType font URW Palladio IT is contained in the enhanced build 1.3.0.72 of Itranslator 99.
The PostScript Type 1 font URW-PalladioIT updated 24th April 2003 is downloadable as PaITps.zip.

Note: The Unicode version of URW Palladio IT is available as URW Palladio ITU (see below).


URW Palladio IT98
.
(Transliteration Font for Itranslator 98)

The old Itranslator 98 (replaced by the new Itranslator 99) should not be used any longer for creating new text files, but its old fonts are still required for viewing a large number of already existing Sanskrit texts encoded in Itranslator 98 fonts.

A new version of the old transliteration font in Palladio design was made in May 2004 to enable mixing of already existing Itranslator 98 files with newly generated Itranslator 99 files. For this purpose, you must replace "Translit98" by "URW Palladio IT98".

Encoding of "URW Palladio IT98" (TrueType font) = "URW-PalladioIT98" (PostScript Type 1 font)

The TrueType font is downloadable as PaIT98ttx.zip, the PostScript font is downloadable as PaIT98psx.zip.


URW Palladio ITU
.
(Transliteration Font for Itranslator 2003)

This compact "Indic Transliteration Unicode" or "Itranslator Transliteration Unicode" font contains

a) the complete character set of Code Page 1252 (Latin 1), plus
b) the Sanskrit diacritics and floating accents of URW Palladio IT, plus
c) several additional diacritics of modern and medieval Indic languages

URW Palladio ITU, primarily designed for the new Itranslator 2003, can also be used

a) for online display of UTF-8 encoded Sanskrit HTML files
b) for encoding classical Sanskrit texts in Unicode encoding
c) for converting URW Palladio IT files to Unicode text files
d) for encoding of Hindi/Marathi texts (ISO 15919 diacritics)

The layout of URW Palladio ITU, viewable in high quality as PaITUx.pdf, is shown on following chart:

Yellow: Floating accents: Vedic single + double Udatta and Anudatta
Cyan: PUA glyphs, for which no codepoints were defined by Unicode
Grey: Additional diacritics of modern and medieval Indic languages

The TrueType Unicode font URW Palladio ITU is downloadable as PaITUx.zip. It was enhanced
in April 2003 to reflect enhancements concerning Hindi/Marathi in the updated font URW Palladio IT,
and it was extended in December 2003 to cover the additional diacritics of modern Indic languages.

Note 1: The December 2003 version of URW Palladio ITU is supplied with the new "Itranslator 2003".
Note 2: A minor correction concerning the spacing of "danda" (decimal 124) was made in January 2007.
Note 3: Compare URW Palladio ITU with URW Palladio IT (see above).


SANSKRIT 99
.
(Devanagari Font for Itranslator 99)

The former font "Sanskrit 98" has been replaced by the new font "Sanskrit 99", which is compatible with Adobe Standard Encoding fonts and allows for flush-right composition of Sanskrit prose texts by using code #173 as soft hyphen and code #45 as hard hyphen as required by Windows word processing programs.

The new font Sanskrit 99 has this encoding described in every detail in my manual ITmanual99.pdf (400 KB)

The TrueType font "Sanskrit 99" is contained in the new release of Itranslator 99.

The PostScript Type 1 font "Sanskrit 99ps" is downloadable as Sans99ps.zip.

This PostScript font Sanskrit 99ps automatically works under Windows XP which has built-in PS Type 1 font handling. Users of older versions of Windows such as Windows 1995/98 or Windows 3.1 will require the Adobe Type Manager.


SANSKRIT 99 c
.
(Version for Classical Sanskrit only)

Windows 95/98/ME etc. users who cannot use the OpenType font "Sanskrit 2003", but who need more ligatures for Classical Sanskrit, can use - instead of "Sanskrit 99" (see above) - the alternative TrueType font "Sanskrit 99c" comprising 19 additional ligatures:

Please study the pros and cons in the manual Sans99c.pdf so that you can decide whether "Sanskrit 99c" meets your needs.

The TrueType font "Sanskrit 99c" is downloadable as Sans99c.zip. (Note: In 2008, the font "Sanskrit 99c" was modified.)


Alpa 99 classic
.
(Version for Typesetting Classical Sanskrit in Small Point Sizes)

A private font with the same encoding as the above font "Sanskrit 99 c" was made for me by Mr. Michail Bayaryn by adapting an old CDAC font not available to the general public. This private font is especially suited for typesetting classical Sanskrit texts in small point sizes. For technical details see the document Alpa99c.pdf (180 KB, 10 pages).


SANSKRIT 99 SV
.
(Version for Samaveda Typesetting)

A special version of "Sanskrit 99" was made for typesetting accented Samaveda texts. This font "Sanskrit 99 SV" presently comprises all 29 accents drawn from the TDIL draft "Vedic Code Set - A Draft" (see http://tdil.mit.gov.in/pchangeuni.htm):

The following sample drawn from SV 52 (= SV 1-1-1-5-8 = RV 8.1.18) depicts 6 essential Samaveda accents:

The preliminary documentation of this Samaveda font is downloadable as Sans99sv.pdf. The font itself is not yet downloadable, since I need more information on the usage of the rarer Samaveda accents listed in the TDIL draft. Samaveda researchers who are acquainted with the various Samaveda accentuation methods are requested to contact me. (Note: Although this request was published in February 2004 and although the documentation sans99sv.pdf is downloaded by about 100 persons per month, none of these persons ever replied to my request and offered help. I have therefore cancelled the Samaveda font project.)


Gudakesa 99 and Santipur 99
.
(Itranslator 99 Fonts by Lev Tikhomirov)

The only Devanagari font so far for Itranslator 99 was our font Sanskrit 99. I am grateful to Mr. L.S.Tikhomirov for designing two additional fonts for Itranslator 99, firstly the historical font Gudakesa 99 being a replica of the anonymous font used by Bopp and Schlegel for the first Sanskrit editions printed in Europe and also used by Böhtlingk for his Petersburg dictionaries, and secondly the historical font Santipur 99 being a replica of a later and also anonymous font used in Germany (Leipig, etc.) for typesetting Stenzler’s and Geiger’s Elementarbücher and Cappeller’s Wörterbuch and many other books published since the middle of the 19th century.

It was a pleasure for me to fund this font project by Mr. Lev Tikhomirov of Russia, and I trust that users of Itranslator 99 will be pleased to now have a choice among two new additional Devanagari fonts which are available as of September 2005.

The documentation of these two fonts including historical specimens is downloadable as S99Fonts.pdf (1.4 MB, 24 pages).

The two original TTF versions (1.0 resp. 1.2 of September 2005, hinted by Ulrich Stiehl and described in the above PDF file) of these two fonts Gudakesa99.ttf and Santipur99.ttf are downloadable as S99Fonts.zip.

Note: The two later versions (2.4 of December 2005) of these two fonts, downloadable as S99Fonts24.zip, have some glyph improvements, but they are no longer fully compatible with Itranslator 99 and therefore should not be used by Itranslator 99 users.

Please also visit the "Photos from India" site of Mr. Tikhomirov (also known as Lila) showing his beautiful photos of India.


Sanskrit 98
.
(Devanagari Font for Itranslator 98)

The old Itranslator 98 (replaced by the new Itranslator 99) should not be used any longer for creating new text files, but its old fonts are required for viewing a large number of existing Sanskrit texts encoded in Itranslator 98 fonts. For instance the entire text of Valmiki Ramayana is available on the internet encoded in the old font "Sanskrit 98" (see http://www.valmikiramayan.net).

Red = used (okay for TrueType, but incompatible with Adobe Standard encoding)
Cyan = hard hyphen (ASCII decimal code 45) and soft hyphen (ASCII code 173)

Note: The old Itranslator 98 crashes, if run on new Windows XP, e.g. due to the hard/soft hyphen problem.
For this reason you should use the new Itranslator 99 which runs on any old and new versions of Windows.
However, the old "Sanskrit 98" font can be viewed on both Windows 95/98/2000 and also on Windows XP.

The TrueType font is downloadable as Sans98.zip, the PostScript font is downloadable as Sanspost.zip.


SANSKRIT 2003
.
(Devanagari OpenType Unicode Font for Itranslator 2003)

The OpenType font "Sanskrit 2003", enhanced in September 2005, is primarily designed for the ITX converter "Itranslator 2003", but this font can also be used as a stand-alone font, e.g. as replacement of the Windows 2000/XP "Mangal" system font.

Cave! The OpenType font "Sanskrit 2003" necessarily requires Windows XP (or at least Windows 2000 with enabled "International Support", i.e. Uniscribe OpenType support for Indic fonts). Therefore "Sanskrit 2003" does not work with Windows 95 nor with Windows 98 nor with Windows ME, etc.

"Sanskrit 2003" is the first font in the history of Devanagari typography containing all attested ligatures of Vedic and Classical Sanskrit. Furthermore this font also includes the ligatures not used in Sanskrit, but used in Hindi and Marathi.

The following picture displays a small selection of the ligatures contained in "Sanskrit 2003":

The font "Sanskrit 2003", also separately downloadable from here as Sans2003.zip (new version 1.1, September 2005), is automatically installed with the program package "Itranslator 2003" (re-packaged installer consisting of the old program version 2.0.0.38 of September 2004 and the new font version of September 2005 and downloadable at the Itranslator 2003 website). Note: If Itranslator 2003 is already installed on your computer, then only install the new font version 1.1 of September 2005, as explained in the Readme included with Sans2003.zip.

The program "Itranslator 2003", the Devanagari font "Sanskrit 2003", the transliteration font "URW Palladio ITU" and other topics concerning OpenType Devanagari fonts are described in every detail in my comprehensive "Technical Manual of Itranslator 2003", for the first time published on 15th December 2003, and later revised on 1st February 2004, on 25th February 2004, and on 27th September 2005. The Itranslator 2003 manual comprises 133 pages and is downloadable as ITmanual2003.pdf (2 MB). The latest version of the manual informs about the update of "Sanskrit 2003" and also describes the entirely new font "Chandas", see below.

Please read also the separate document Addendum (140 KB) to "Technical Manual of Itranslator 2003" describing the new "Combined Conversion" feature of the Itranslator 2003 program.

- An excellent typesetting specimen of "Sanskrit 2003" is the large-print edition of the Bhagavadgita which is downloadable here.
- Another typesetting specimen ("Nala story") with ITX file for Itranslator 2003 and TXT file for Word XP is downloadable here.
- A short web browser font test for HTML files containing Unicode fonts for Sanskrit is here. What you should see is shown here.

Note: Alok Kumar describes many other Unicode-compatible Devanagari fonts at his website Devanaagarii.net.


Chandas
.
(Devanagari OpenType Unicode Font by Mihail Bayaryn)

This new OpenType font "Chandas" is primarily designed for the ITX converter "Itranslator 2003", but this font can also be used as a stand-alone font, e.g. as replacement of the Windows 2000/XP "Mangal" system font.

Cave! The OpenType font "Chandas" necessarily requires Windows XP (or at least Windows 2000 with enabled "International Support", i.e. Uniscribe OpenType support for Indic fonts). Therefore "Chandas" does not work with Windows 95 nor with Windows 98 nor with Windows ME, etc.

Both "Sanskrit 2003" (designed by Swami Satchidananda) and "Chandas" (designed by Mihail Bayaryn) contain all attested ligatures of Vedic and Classical Sanskrit. The following picture displays a small selection of the ligatures contained in "Chandas":

Please read our updated Itranslator 2003 Manual containing more details about typesetting Vedic texts with "Sanskrit 2003" and "Chandas". It was a pleasure for me to fund this "Chandas" font project by Mr. Mihail Bayaryn of Belarus, and I trust that users of Itranslator 2003 will be pleased to now have a choice among two different full-fledged Unicode fonts comprising all attested ligatures required for high-quality professional typesetting of Classical and Vedic Sanskrit texts.

There are two versions: Chandas.ttf and Uttara.ttf. These fonts and additional files (keyboard layout etc.) are downloadable at our special subsite here.
