It was Paul Wisewho wrote me, and it was about the Debian package http://packages.debian.org/sid/ttf-mph-2b-damase It is a collection including apparently hand-drawn glyphs for several Indian character ranges. They aren't beautiful (to my eyes), but perhaps could be useful. I have read that the range of glyphs in the Kharoṣṭhī range there is not usable as-is, because of a lack of font features. The base requirement for a range of glyphs to be included, will be that they are useful for rendering text for the main purpose (here, text in the given language). So: If a speaker of these languages could tell me, if these glyphs are adequate for rendering text, that would be helpful. Then I would want to know how they look. Cheers!
