Re: [Indlinux-group] GNU FreeFont update

[Steve W. <ste...@gm...>]

G,

Hey, that would be great!

If you like, have a look at FreeFont. (I'm the admin of that project.)
The last (May 2012) includes lots of improvements to Indic ranges.

It was mostly tested in Linux (primarily Pango) and Windows XP.  Indic
font rendering has changed a lot recently, so the Indic doesn't work
well with Windows 7 or with Harfbuzz in Linux.  My current thrust is
to improve the Indic ranges for those rendering systems.

Cheers!
