Malayalam numbers

Post by rais »

Hi Suren,
well, I'm afraid I miss what you're looking for, so I tried to assemble a glyph list of sorts for this malayalam package.
In a new (well, more or less empty) folder, run on a console

Code: Select all

for I in `seq 0 255`; do echo "char $I: {\mm\<$I>}\par"; done > rglist1.tex
for I in `seq 0 255`; do echo "char $I: {\B\<$I>}\par"; done > rglist2.tex
for I in `seq 0 255`; do echo "char $I: {\C\<$I>}\par"; done > rglist3.tex
for I in `seq 0 255`; do echo "char $I: {\D\<$I>}\par"; done > rglist4.tex
for I in `seq 0 255`; do echo "char $I: {\E\<$I>}\par"; done > rglist5.tex
for I in `seq 0 255`; do echo "char $I: {\F\<$I>}\par"; done > rglist6.tex
that should create 6 files with slightly different contents.
Then run

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper, 12pt]{article}
\usepackage[rachana]{malayalam}
\begin{document}
\section{Malayalam Rachana \#1}
\input{rglist1.tex}
\section{Malayalam Rachana \#2}
\input{rglist2.tex}
\section{Malayalam Rachana \#3}
\input{rglist3.tex}
\section{Malayalam Rachana \#4}
\input{rglist4.tex}
\section{Malayalam Rachana \#5}
\input{rglist5.tex}
\section{Malayalam Rachana \#6}
\input{rglist6.tex}
\end{document}
through pdfLaTeX and have a look at the output: which glyphs actually match malayalam numbers?
