Hi All,
I came across some old mails/pages on the net talking about issues with
Kedage and Mallige.
From what i've tried and tested, there seems to be no issues with these
two fonts (tested on OO 3, Ubuntu HH) . The only thing is , 'vu' in
mallige looks like 'ma' -
ವು
Can you guys let me know if there are any other issues with Mallige and
Kedage?
Thanks,
Vinay
p.s : and both are under GPL right?
