# ITRANS Usage

The IFM file is called itxguj.ifm, and the user needs to load this in the input file for ITRANS. The user manual for ITRANS, idoc.itx, has more information on how to use ITRANS.

## Font Developer

This font has been developed by Shrikrishna Patil, who has been developing fonts for over a decade now. He has been extremely generous to all of us users of ITRANS, and has offered us two freeware fonts: one for Gujarati (ItxGuj), and one for Bengali (ItxBeng). I am thankful to him for this gift! If any one using this ITRANS package finds the need for fonts for Microsoft Windows or Apple Macintosh platforms, feel free to contact Patil at his e-mail address sapatil@aol.com. His fonts are available at very reasonable costs, around US$50 to US$100 depending on the font.

## IFM File Creator

I would like to thank Prakash Trivedi (prakash@aero.odu.edu), who undertook the complex task of creating the IFM file for ItxGuj! This is the first time anyone else (other than me) has ventured to try to create a IFM file, and Prakash Trivedi not only attempted it, he also managed to substantially complete the task! This was a great help to me since last year (1995) I could not devote much time to ITRANS development, and with his initial work, it was very easy for me to complete the IFM file, and so today, ITRANS supports Gujarati.
