Sanskrit handwriting

crisnyc · 06-21-2009, 04:35 AM

I am making a poster that has four Ganeshas as part of it (it's a poster of the Yugas). I would like to put the names of the Ganeshas in Sanskrit handwriting (not just the names in Sanskrit using Western letters/characters). The four names are:
Mahotkaţa Vināyaka, Mayūreśvara, Gajānana, and Dhūmraketu.
The type of writing I am referring to is in the Ganesha image on this link:

Thank you.

Thank you.

Mahotkaţa Vināyaka = महोत्कटविनायक
Mayūreśvara = मयूरेश्वर
Gajānana = गजानन
Dhūmraketu = धूम्रकेतु

Thanks so much for your quick reply. I am on a Mac, and probably don't have the correct international alphabet installed, so what I see in your translation is a little box for each character that has numbers in it, for instance "2E", with "09" underneath.
If you know how I can see the actual characters please let me know.
The ideal situation would be to get the words in vector art from Adobe Illustrator, but you may not have that program.
I will research the Mac forums to see if there is a way that the characters can be viewed. Again thanks for your help.

I was able to download Sanskrit and I used it with the names. I would like to show you the result so you can verify that it is correct. If you go to this link you can see the result at the bottom of the page.

Good you asked.
It is a garbled text, please do not use it.
Probably the font you downloaded, does not support the ligatures i.e. complex letters in Sanskrit.

OK. Will keep trying.
Here is the link for the poster I'm working on, by the way:
yuga poster

I may know of someone at Ananda in Northern California who can help. His name is Byasa and he teaches classes about the Yugas.
