Inconsolata doesn't support devanagari at all, so when you try that, you're seeing whatever fallback font your browser chooses.
(IMO, the fact that fontlibrary.org doesn't indicate this is a serious defect in its presentation.)
- extra88 8y agoGood point. fontlibrary.org lists each font's language support in the sidebar but since the page emphasizes the display of the font, it would be better if they prevented such fallback.
- jfk13 8y agoIts idea of "language support" is also less than ideal, as it just considers the character repertoire and not whether the font can actually render the characters in a typographically correct way. Thus, it claims Unifont has "support" for various South and South-East Asian languages where exactly this issue applies: the text is simply wrong when displayed linearly using a 1:1 character/glyph mapping.
