Testimonials
Here's what others are saying about LaserHindi Sanskrit and NewHindi Sanskrit:
"For years now I've loved your fonts - they're simply the best. Nothing on the market, whether free or for purchase, comes close."
Dr. Ron Giese, Desert Springs Church, Albuquerque, NM, USA
"I first bought Macintosh fonts from Linguist's Software at least 15 years ago, and I was immediately impressed with their quality and used them for years with no problems whatsoever. When I switched to the Windows platform a few years ago, I tried several different sorts of fonts, but none of them were comparable in quality and ease of use to your products. My initial purchase of LaserHindi Sanskrit a few days ago only served to confirm once again that fonts from Linguist's Software are in a class by themselves. (May I also compliment you on the excellent user's manuals that you produce; I'm glad that your company is willing to buck the minimalist trend in the industry and continue produce well-written, well-produced, very comprehensive [PDF] manuals.) A satisfied customer..."
Jack Hagge, Iowa State University, Program in Linguistics
"I am a very happy user of your software and recommend it regularly to other Sanskritists."
Brad Priddy, M.D., Atlanta, GA

Ari Teerimaki, University of Helsinki, Finland

Dr. Varun Singh, Westcliff-On-Sea, Essex, England
"I am pleased with the excellent product LaserHindi Sanskrit. This is a great product. I have enjoyed using it for the past three years."
Vidhyanand Jaikarran, Queens Village, NY
"Wonderful fonts! Best wishes, and thanks for your great work and your great fonts."
Mindy Rosenblatt, Santa Barbara, CA
"The Sanskrit and transliteration fonts from Linguist Software have been constructed with incredible intelligence. The number of consonant combinations leaves nothing to be desired - everything you want is there. The fonts are crisp and clear. Using the software is easy, and quickly becomes intuitive, and the handy keyboard chart is easy to refer to. Within a short time, I was able to type Devanagari almost as quickly as typing English. Amazing! And the company provides excellent and friendly tech support, too. Many thanks to Linguist Software. I am glad to refer teachers and students."
Mindy Rosenblatt, creator of a website for learning Sanskrit, Santa Barbara, California
"Your efforts saved the day for me. The font is just what I needed."
