Hi all,

I have posted the first version of a new Bengali font and it encoding at:

http://www.btinternet.com/~shaheedhaque/raga.tgz

Notes...

1. I had some difficulty with inserting the complete XFree86 license 
(replacing all instances of ``the XFree86 Project'' by my name as suggested), 
so it presently has a rather bald one-liner. Any advice on how to fix this is 
welcome. To avoid doubt: it is certainly my intent that the font become part 
of XFree86.

2. Juliusz: it would be great if you were able to check that the encoding file 
is done correctly. I tried to include both Unicode and Postscript mappings as  
suggested.

3. I have supplied the hinted pfaedit source file (raga.sfd) along with the 
scalable .pfa and a few sample .bdf bitmap fonts generated from the .sfd. The 
font is currently missing the ASCII characters. Any pointers to a glyph set 
which could be freely included AND later distributed with XFree86 are 
welcome.

4. Thanks to George for pfaedit...it made life rather simple for a complete 
font newbie!
