A package was submitted to savannah.nongnu.org
This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden
Sayamindu Dasgupta <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License:
Package: Free Bangla Fonts
System name: freebangfont
Type: non-GNU
Description:
The goal of the project is to provide a set of Free Unicode compliant Bengali
fonts. Bengali is the fifth largest language in the world (in terms of people
speaking it), and it is a real pity that there is not a single Free Unicode
Compliant font that supports all the characters. I want this project to be a
centralised resource for all Free Unicode compliant Bangla fonts.
I have a BETA font ready at
http://www.peacefulaction.org/sayamindu/Akaash-0.5.tar.gz
Other Software Required:
For the fonts to be displayed correctly, any rendering system that has support
for Indic Open Type rendering is ok. Currently, Pango (version 1.1.1) supports
that.
