Hello,
I am pleased to announce the latest member of the Free Bangla Fonts
Project collection - Sagar (The Sea).
Sagar is a Free OpenType font containing covering the entire Unicode
range for Bengali, and covering most of the commonly used juktakkhars
(conjuncts).
Sagar has been developed using the glyphs donated by Mr Omi Azad from
Bangladesh.
We have also used a "templating system" to create the convert the font
quickly and efficiently into an OTF.
(More details can be found at our mailing lists archive at
http://mail.nongnu.org/archive/html/freebangfont-devel/2003-03/threads.html)
Sagar can be downloaded from
http://savannah.nongnu.org/files/?group=freebangfont
(However, please note that the font is not yet usable in M$ Windows (tm)
- I am yet to find out why).
-Enjoy the release-
-regards-
Sayamindu
PS: The work on the conversion has been done entirely on Free Software
(three cheers for pfaedit !!)
PS again: Many thanks to Deepayan Sarcar for working on the template
system - that really made life a lot easier ;-)
