[Indic-computing-devel] glyphs for upcoming devanagari font

[Guntupalli K. <kar...@fr...>]

Hi, 
  Please check out the preview of glyphs in the upcoming Devanagari
opentype font at     
   http://www.indlinux.org/fonts/ 
Please ignore the appearing encoding information. It contains the
basic Unicode range + 204 glyphs ( with total of 308 glyphs ). Right
now only those combinations that are practically used have been
supported, unlike some existing fonts which contain all theoretically
possible combinations. This issue can be debated later once the font
is released.   

More updates, screenshots and text samples written
using the font will follow soon. Actual font and documents regarding
designing Devanagari opentype fonts along with the font sources ( font
data + opentype tables ) will be released under an opensource license,
once we get a sponsor for the font.  

Those interested in sponsoring fonts (this gives you the right to name
the font after yourself or any name you choose), please contact Venky
Hariharan <ve...@vs...> or Prakash Advani <pr...@fr...>.  

A Telugu OTF is also in the making, which is based on an existing TTF
font ( Tikkana 1.2, by Prasad Chodavarapu
http://chaitanya.bhaavana.net/fonts ). Will put up a preview of it
also soon. 

Regards, 
Karunakar
