Hi,

I have almost completed the Bengali code-point glyphs I mentioned as while 
ago. I would like some advice on how to contribute them. Specifically,

1. What license do you prefer? GPL? X?

2. What format is preferred? I am using pfaedit, so can generate anything it 
can generate. I would prefer to use a scalable format rather than bitmap (I 
have tried to make sure that 12 point bitmaps look somewhat OK, but 
anti-aliasing support is irresistable :-)).

3. For encoding, I have tried to stick to what seems to be the best 
standardised encoding - the one from ISCII. So, as per IS13194, I have made 
an encoding up for the combination of 0-127 for ASCII, and 128-255 for the 
Unicode Bengali codepoints, and called is is13194-bengali. This is obviously 
just a starting point - but does that make sense so far?

4. I have actually implemented just the Bengali glyphs 128-255. Should I take 
a set of ASCII glyphs from somewhere and just add them to the 0-127 space 
just to fill out the encoding, or is there a bigger/better aggregation that 
happens within XFree86 font release process?

Thanks, Shaheed
