ConjunctForms (cjct) * Ligature-replacing consonant glyph combinations as seen in Sanskrit Literature. HalantForms (haln) * Ligature-replacing glyphs where halant intersects, with new drawn glyph where halant is well positioned. HalfForms (half) * Ligature-replacing consonant+halant glyphs with new drawn half-consonant glyph. NuktaForms (nukt) * Ligature-replacing the combination of consonant+nukta glyphs with a new ligature. PostBaseSubstitutions (psts) * Ligature-replacing the combination of consonant+halant glyphs with a new ligature. PreBaseSubstitutions (pres) * Ligature-replacing the combination of consonant+halant+consonant glyphs with a new ligature.

Contains Full Color Plates for legibility and clarity. A proposed character class scheme for correct implementation of Sanskrit Typesetting is outlined here, so that * Unicode Character Block team members * Script Language coders * Font designers * Open Type Design Shaping Engine developers can help users in writing "correct and beautiful Sanskrit" texts and books and documents as per the extant Ancient Sanskrit Literature in the modern world.
