Alternate forms for Devanagari characters

The list on the following page shows alternate forms of Indian language
characters that are available in applications that use QuickDraw GX.

QuickDraw GX is a system software extension that provides powerful
printing features, as well as advanced graphics, type, and color capabilities.
QuickDraw GX treats text both as text and as graphics. Using its sophisticated
features, you can generate typographic shapes, or color, pattern, scale, rotate,
and transform a line of text as you would any graphic shape.

QuickDraw GX works with all color-capable Macintosh computers equipped
with Macintosh system software version 7.1 or later, a hard disk drive, and a
minimum of 8 MB of RAM.

Note: You should use QuickDraw GX version 1.1.3 or later. QuickDraw
GX 1.1.3 is included with Macintosh system software versions 7.5 and later.
However, you must install QuickDraw GX separately from the
system software.

The alternate forms of Devanagari characters are shown next, along with the
default form for each character.
