[XeTeX] Mixed Roman and Indian alphabets for Sanskrit

[Dominik Wujastyk]

So what would be a canonical way to set up \saDev{xxx} for typesetting
Sanskrit in Devanagari, and \saIAST{yyy} for typesetting Sanskrit in Roman
script, with both getting correct Sanskrit hyphenation from the same
hyph-sa.tex file?

Something like this?

\newfontfamily\devanagarifont
[Script=Devanagari,
Mapping=iast]
{Sanskrit 2003}

\def\saDev{{\devanagarifont #1}}  % type in IAST transliteration and get
Devanagari with Devanagari hyphenation from hyph-sa.tex

\newfontfamily\iastfont
[Script=Devanagari]
{Sanskrit 2003}

\def\saIAST{\emph{{\iastfont #1}}} % type in IAST transliteration and get
Latin script with Sanskrit hyphenation from hyph-sa.tex


Does "Script=Devanagari" turn on the hypy-sa hyphenation file?

Best,
Dominik
