Dear Zednek,

Thank you for all these information about sanskrit (I knew some but
others are useful). My main problem is French: babel French is really a
very good help for French typography while French with polyglossia is
very poor!

If I could find somewhere a "Rosetta stone" to translate babel French
into polyglossia French, I certainly try to make this translation!

As for Devanagary script, I don't know FreeSerif fonts, I'll try them. I
presently use Velthuis fonts with the devnag preprocessor.

Thanks again.

F.P.
