Typesetting in Tamil For Multilingual Documents

 

When you are typesetting Multilingual document it doesn't make sense to load Polyglossia or Babel package just for a single line. All one has to load is the Fontspec package and the requisite font. Whenever Fontspec package is loaded it must be compiled in either XeLaTeX or LuaLaTex. Here is the minimal working example.

\RequirePackage[orthodox]{nag}
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{ClearSans}
\usepackage{courier}
\newfontfamily{\TACtam}{Lohit Tamil}
\newfontfamily{\ctam}{Noto Sans Tamil Supplement}
\begin{document}
    normal  \emph{italic} \textbf{extra bold} \textit{italy} \texttt{help}
    {\TACtam அய்யா வணக்கம்.}{\ctam 𑿀}
\end{document}

You can name the Commands \TACtam and \ctam , wordings of your choice, this is saying to XeLaTeX to encode the fonts in Tamil.

But first make sure the font you are using has both the bold and italic glyphs or make sure the fonts you are going to use matches else it would be very awkward and look very unprofessional.

If you mentioned a font by its file name then make sure you mention the Bold and Italic fonts.In This you can also set the default typewriter font, For example if you want to load the courier as the default typewriter font all you had to is load the package Here is the Minimal Working example.

\Requirepackage[orthodox]{nag}                    \documentclass{article}                       \usepackage{fontspec}               \setmainfont{texgyrepagella-regular.otf}[BoldFont= texgyrepagella-bold.otf ,ItalicFont= texgyrepagella-italic.otf , BoldItalicFont = texgyrepagella-bolditalic.otf]          \usepackage{courier}                                \begin{ document}                                  \end{document}
