Moreover, Nigamas can mean either division of Shakta-tantras (when Devi is Guru) or Vedas (as opposed to Agamas, Tantras). In the first sense, Rudra-yamala (text we have now) and Kulachudamani are Nigamas. A , "Llundrub" <llundrub wrote: > > Yes, I like that idea.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 There's not a transliterated version of Rudrayamala is there? Besides SS site? Yes, I'm thinking of the Devi-Guru tantras. I'm sure there's very many and also the North South Indian have different as well.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 You can get Rudra-yamala (sanskrit in translit) from Muktabodha Online library. It is free, U just have to register there.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 any 3 of these formats can be converted to ITRANS [first to balaram format and then to itrans]. and then use Itranslator2003 for devanagari display convert to itrans here http://convert.granthamandira.org/ , "Dhirendra Pal Singh" <dpal.singh wrote: > > The only problem is that its in encoding > Velthius<http://www.muktabodhalib.org/SECURE/MALAVIYA/RUDRAYAMALA/RudraYamalaVEL\ THIUS.txt> > Harvard-Kyoto<http://www.muktabodhalib.org/SECURE/MALAVIYA/RUDRAYAMALA/RudraYama\ laHK.txt> > csxplus<http://www.muktabodhalib.org/SECURE/MALAVIYA/RUDRAYAMALA/RudraYamalaCSX.\ txt> > > And there is no way to translate it back to devnagri.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Greetings, It will take U some 10 minutes to change it into ITRANS. Any text editing application starting from TextEdit, Pages or Word and ending with InCopy/InDesign has facility "Find and Replace". Just U will have to change 51 letters from one encoding to another, it's simple.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Not really, but i guess , since tex is a cross platform application and, if i am not mistaken, osx uses true type fonts , the Velthius font package must be compatible, or at least the probability is high that there is a osx version of velthius or any other transliteration Devanagari font for tex is floating around somewhere in the net. , "Arjuna Taranandanatha" <bhagatirtha wrote: > > 93 > > Have U got an idea how to set up TeX on MacOSX for usage of devanagari? > What is needed of software and fonts? > > Regards, > A > > , "mahahradanatha" <mahahradanatha@> wrote: > > > > Devanagari fonts "velthius for tex package" > > > > http://www.aczoom.com/itrans/dvng/node1.html > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 OSX supports all fonts apart from Windows Type 1 — that is Mac TrueType, DFONT, OpenType, Mac Type 1 and Windows TrueType.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 I have been trying to beat my head with Tex and itrans on linux. Spent a lot of time and i cant get it to work... If you are successful Arjuna ji then please let me also know about it.. BTW one more thing.. I have seen that using itrans in batch mode is much faster then the normal gui mode. I was able to translate complete JanarvaTantra much quicker in batch mode then it gui mode.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 BTW anyone worked with converting fonts from one format to another with something like FontLab or TransType? Was it successful? And what is the best way to make devanagari appear in browser using unicode? We tryed but with partial success. Some browsers like Firefox and Opera (Mac-version) has unicode problems — it worked only on Safari and IE. , "Dhirendra Pal Singh" <dpal.singh wrote: > > I have been trying to beat my head with Tex and itrans on linux.

It depends more on the OS. For example firefox on linux cant render correctly words that are supposed to be half, "sh" in shyam. But when used to view on windows, firefox renders it correctly. You can test by seeing BBCHindi.com webpage. the link is as follows http://www.bbc.co.uk/hindi/ I can see it correctly, both on firefox and ie on windows. Hope this helps..
