Notes for the next update : some of the keys on the right-hand side of the keyboard aren't centered (devanagari chars are left and a bit below optimal), and the upper-right key should have perhaps 90%-reduced chars to fit. 01:44, 14 October 2007 (EDT)

Some options re glyph alignment. Please comment.

Offset, but aligned

Aligning horizontally, but distorting characters veritcally

Maximum size, but ignoring horizontal and vertical alignments

Regarding the vertical alignment, the top two options represent the correct vertical alignment and the third one represents an incorrect vertical alignment. --Arjs 13:58, 14 October 2007 (EDT)
