Re: tugindia Digest, Vol 146, Issue 3

Sorry for posting in bits and pieces.  It is possible to type shree and
ksha using the following letter combinations according to the following
document:
http://unicode.org/L2/L2001/01375r-N2381R-Tamil.pdf

Note: The Tamil Letter Shree (at Shifted position on the Y key) is composed
of the following characters (identified by their Unicode values): U+0B9A +
U+0BCD + U+0BB0 + U+0BC0. Similarly the Tamil Letter Ksha (at Shifted
position on the T key) is composed of the following Unicode characters:
U0B95+U0BCD+U0BB7.

You can use itrans-tamil if you don't mind using itrans transliteration.
See http://ctan.imsc.res.in/macros/xetex/generic/itrans/
You can get ksha also.  See
http://ctan.imsc.res.in/macros/xetex/generic/itrans/itrans-tamil-sample.pdf
and
http://ctan.imsc.res.in/macros/xetex/generic/itrans/itrans-tamil-sample.tex
*Summarising*, please install Chanakya or Kamal.  They are complete
families.  (No slant
fonts though.) Then, type your document in xelatex using
itrans-tamil-sample.tex
Best regards,
