the Pali fonts and their diacritical marks.
Our web pages otherwise omit the Pali diacriticals, not because Pali
fonts are unavailable but because many visitors will not be able to
display them. On their browsers, Pali terms in Pali fonts such as Times_CSX
will be rendered in standard Times resulting in unwanted substitute
characters.
For further information, please see the Pali
fonts page on BuddhaNet.
A search on 'Pali fonts' is also recommended.
