Dear Rahat Bhai,

Please correct me if I am wrong, but are you saying that the Unibangla font has 
nothing to do with any fonts from FreeBanglaFont project? Nothing was derived 
or based on any FreeBanglaFont project's fonts to create UniBangla font?

Also, can you please verify whether the bn_BD file was copied from glibc and 
released with the contact info changed and one line added?

And the last one,  can you please verify whether BIOS violated the copyright of 
the howtos provided by Ankur?

regards,
Taneem
