Are you aware that due to the lack of standardization of the Marathi

Printers and Publishers in Marathi Language simply do not accept this
( and they are right). They are still using non-standard proprietary
fonts developed by private vendors because it satisfies their
Printing need but it is causing great difficulties for electronic data
exchange.
Can you describe the problems in current standard Devanagri fonts when
writing Marathi? What do they need non-standard non-free fonts for?
Don't hesitate to use a paper, a pen and a scanner to show what is
expected!
