HI
I have also heard that this site "Bangali Adda" is quite good. But i've never
visited this site.
Any way .. There is one govt. project called BHARAT BHASA , under this project
lot of true type fonts have been developed (Including Bangali) Fonts . But I
don't know whether those fonts are supported by linux or not . I am using those
fonts (bangali and hindi ) in windows .
if any one needed I can provide the same
--
Regards and Thanks
Kamal
