hi all,

i have added another font to the [extra] repository: the

ttf-tibetan-machine

font. it covers all chars to be usefull for Tibetan, Dzongkha and 
Ladakhi... and most of Sanskrit. 

if you want to test, the pkg scim-m17n contains a method for scim to 
input tibetan. use abiword, set the font to tibetan machine unicode 
and enjoy! 

one small warning on the side: 
konqueror seems to have problems using this font ... i was not yet 
able to figure out why (or confirm that it's because of this font) 
but when this pkg is installed, konqueror hangs when trying to open 
sites that contain chars in this unicode region... e.g. 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibetan_script
firefox (bon echo) works fine... it may be a QT or KDE specific 
problem. you have been warned.

like always, i'm open to any other suggestion regarding any freely 
available/distributable fonts that covers a wider unicode charspace 
than we have with the fonts available in arch repos now.

greetings,
Damir
