A very good news. I am just coming from a meeting with
Mr. M.S. Sridhar (of Cyberscape Multimedia Limited) and Prof. Jitender
Shaw (VJTI, Mumbai). Sridhar is releasing the Indian Language TTF
fonts (more than hundred) under GPL today the the birthday of Mahatma
Gandhi. He has fonts for all the languages. The press release and
release note will be posted by evening. I wanted to break the news to
all of you. We have been trying to have this meeting happen, but it
happened today. The fonts will be putup on FSF-India's website for
download, as well as their companies web site. The details will be
announced soon. I will put it up on the FSF site as soon as I get the
CD. We can also put them up at indic-computing site at sourceforge.
Now the task is to make use of the set of TTF fonts and solve the
immediate problem of encoding and rendering with TTF fonts in all the
Indian Languages and release the GNU/Linux distro with GNOME
applications enabled by January 26. The next task is to convert these
fonts to Open Type fonts as soon as possible.
GREAT!!!
this would be a BIG help for all of us out here
-(BIG) cheers-
