Lovely, please send over whatever you have so that I can merge it
into the next release.  What glossary ?

The best bet will be to use the garnome build scripts to generate
all the libraries necessary.

We are not terribly particular about which version of pango we use.
Both 1.0.x and 1.1.x have been tested.

I'm unfamilar with 'otf' or why you'd need to convert ttf into
something.  Pango (via freetype) should be able to support ttf
directly.

Certainly.  Many thanks for your work.  I look forward to having
gnumeric tested for indic locales.

There is quite a bit of work
    - translating
    - testing import/export of spreadsheets with indic script (eg xls files)
    - input method support
    - locale features (default date format, currency etc)
