IAST font problem
Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this (maybe not), but my computer is having a problem displaying IAST characters in templates like ; it tries to use a special font specifically for IAST transliteration (one which, frankly, is quite ugly), but the font doesn't have the required diacritics such as <ś>, <ā>, <ṃ>, etc, so it automatically substitutes them with a completely different font in a disproportionately smaller size (far smaller than regular text, while the IAST font for ASCII characters is far larger than regular text), which IMO severely impairs legibility (depending on the number of diacritics, sometimes I have to zoom in or copy and paste to make it legible). If I could digress, I would question the necessity of a special dedicated font for IAST if the regular font already has all of the necessary characters, but since I can't, I'll just limit myself to asking what is the cause of this problem and what can I do to fix it? My mobile phone displays IAST characters in the same pages just fine, and I couldn't find a solution for it on Google, so I believe I can safely assume the problem is just with my computer?
