ISE
| ISE (Institute of Software Engineering) is Akhilesh Gupta's small software company and font foundry. He developed a Nagari-Latin font in 1995-1996. In 2005 he released Akhil_HE and Akhil_ME which are Unicode based OpenType Nagari-Latin fonts. These fonts are almost similar. The only difference is in design of glyphs for Devanagari digits FIVE, EIGHT and NINE (096B, 096E & 096F). The M in Akhil_ME indicates that glyphs are as used in Marathi rather than Hindi. These fonts are professionally hinted and render well on low resolution devices. Located in Gondia, Maharashtra, India. [Google] [More] ⦿ |

Akhilesh Gupta's intro to Nagari langauges. I quote: Those Indian Languages which are written using Nagari can be called Nagari Languages. These languages have a common root, Sanskrit. Sanskrit was a language of Scholars (since 500 BC). Now only few hundred people speak Sanskrit and a few thousand can really understand it. Hindi, Marathi and Nepali, spoken by tens of millions of people, use Nagari. Awadhi, Bihari, Braj-bhasha, Chhattisgarhi, Konkani, and Marwari are spoken by between one and ten million people and also use Nagari. Rarer languages that use Nagari include Garhwali, Mundari, Newari, Bagheli, Bhatneri, Bhili, Gondi, Jaipuri, Harauti, Ho, Kachchhi, Kanauji, Kului, Kumaoni, Kurku, Kurukh, Palpa and Santali.
