IAST glyphs #19

Description

@chaw

This is a feature request, not a bug report.

It would be nice to have glyphs for the characters used by the IAST scheme, such as the Latin letters with dots under them, e.g., ḍ, ṇ, ṛ, ṣ, etc. I believe the relevant Unicode block is Latin Extended Additional, 1E00 through 1EFF, but only a few of those are needed for IAST.

Having those glyphs would permit the use of Eczar in combined Sanskrit-IAST-English documents that are common in some scholarly work, for instance. (If I'm not mistaken, this font has some origins in multi-script typesetting.) Of course, those glyphs can be produced in other ways by a typesetting system, but I think having the glyphs included in the font itself would be nicer.

In any case, thanks for all the work on this very nice font!
