History of Bangla Unicode based OpenType fonts: Mukta Bangla fonts
Project ( http://www.nongnu.org/freebangfont/ ) started the first
Unicode based Opentype Bangla font project. They have successfully
released few fonts. As far I know Samsuddoha Ranju (Alpona Software)
made the first OpenType font from Bangladesh (although that was not
based on Unicode codepage).


About Ekushey.org:
Ekushey.org is dedicated to develop new technology for ease of Bangla
computing which is opensource and free. From a long time they are
working with Unicode, Microsoft, IBM, Sun for settle down all the Bangla
issues. This is the *only* organization from Bangladesh, involved in the
KhandaTa, Danda, Japhola controversy.


OpenType Fonts:
OpenType font is the only future of Bangla computing. Lots of software
vendors of Bangladesh are still encouraging people for stay with their
hacked Bangla typing system, which does not have any prospect in future
Bangla computing.

Ekushey.org released 2 OpenType Bangla fonts at the very beginning.
Those fonts has very high quality glyphs (typeface). Looking at the
demand of ornamental fonts, team members of Ekushey.org decided to make
more then 40 opentype ornamental Bangla fonts.

Now Ekushey.org is proud to announce the release of brand new 5 OpenType
fonts. If you use Unicode Bangla computing system, then you are invited
to http://www.ekushey.org/projects/otf_bangla_fonts/  You can find all
the new releases there.
