[Indic-computing-devel] Microsoft Localisation

[Tapan S. P. <ta...@ya...>]

Just a quick note to tell you guys that Venky and I met the head of
localisation efforts in India for Microsoft yesterday.  Great guy, very
open to collaboration and discussion.  Ive invited him and his technical
staff to join our lists.  One really great thing I think they will be able
to contribute is that they have been building a Hindi lexicon for interface
terms, in collaboration w/ several local companies in India.  If they share
this with us it would be a big help for app developers to use common terms
in our interfaces w/ those in MS, which as we all know, will be very
important in the long term.

Im sure other good technical interactions will arise also, as Im sure we
are all interested in how MS is approaching localisation.  Lets hope they
join and get active.

[Indic-computing-devel] Telugu OTL font

[Keyur S. <key...@ya...>]

Hi,

Is there anyone on this list who knows Telugu? Someone has
given me an opentype Telugu font. It will be great if we
can test the font and put it in public domain for free
download.

I got response from Vijay, Murali, Karunakar, Nagarjun. The
font is available at

http://rohini.ncst.ernet.in/indix/download/font/

I got the font from Ganga Prasad <gan...@em...>,
who is ready to put the font in the public domain under
GPL.
The name of the font is "bharathi" and he has requested to
keep the name while we distribute it under GPL. So we'll
keep the same name and make sure that he'll get credit for
his work.

Please test the font and give your feedback to either me or
directly to Ganga Prasad. We can also put this font in the
repository of indic-computing website from where people can
download it. If anyone of you is ready to do further work
voluntarily on this font then it will be great.

Regards,
Keyur

"Public domain" and GPL are mutually exclusive, but both fall under the 
category of free software (in this case, free fonts).
