hi fred, thanks for pumping up the volume on that font contest am trying to bring alive in schools.
thankfully, the gnulinux community has shown encouraging response, and is
helping out with several issues.
would be fabulous if indic font-design contests are held more regularly, and
more widely, across indian schools and colleges. plus, among the hardcore
coding community, if indian language coding solutions could be encouraged
through friendly contests and competitions through inter-school and
inter-college contests.
there's lots to be done, and we need to catch up on lost decades.
of course, all the work needs to be done on free and freedom-based tools, and
published under the gnu gpl, and gnu fdl license.
do please spread the word.
secondly, if u know indian font designers, who appreciate unicode, opentype,
have a sensitive and expert eye on those bezier curves, and know how to
flourish a brush in calligraphy, do please forward us some names. we need
such people to mentor and evaluate the font designs.
the first set of designs created is just the beginning.
:-)
