Thanks to Raju for asking a very relevant question, while discussing this
on the PRC (project resource centre) mailing list, set up to put potential
programmers in touch with socially useful projects. FN

I'd appreciate if someone would put some effort into figuring out how
to encode the Devnagari font developed by two school students, Avneesh and
Shivaas, in Unicode.  The font is available for download from
http://linux-delhi.org/ .  Avneesh and Shivaas would also like some
tips and hints on how to make their product more effective and
better-looking (ligatures, hinting, whatever you experts do to sharpen
fonts).

Regards,
