hello i am a total newbie when it comes to font related stuffs and so plzz accept my apologies if this mail sounds like one from an idiot but here is what i got in the site http://parabaas.com/Shabda/
<qoute> OS Independence: Parabaas Axar is a pure Java product. In our tests we have found it to be platform independent. It works with equal ease on Windows 9X, Linux and Solaris. Needs to be tested on Macs. <snip> Parabaas is spearheading an effort to standardize the 8 bit Bengali font map. Future versions of Parabaas Axar will use a Minimal Glyph Map, a new concept in Indic language fonts that will help forge a universal standard in Indian language font maps. Acknowledgements: The following two free fonts are provided with Parabaas Axar - ItxBeng and xdvng. ItxBeng is a free font, developed by Srikrishna Patil and originally distributed with the ITRANS package (developed by Avinash Chopde, creator of the freeware ITRANS) from http://www.aczone.com/itrans/. We are grateful to Arun Gupta, creator of xdvng, for permission to use xdvng. <end quote> -iti- sayamindu ********************************************************************* *http://sayamindu.topcities.com/ * *Linux madcow.insane 2.4.13 #2 Wed Oct 31 13:05:10 IST 2001 i686 * * * *Support the SETI AT HOME project at http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/* ********************************************************************* >From: Saugata <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >In Bengali, we have lots of available fonts, most of them are TTF, >but, some of them are not FREE :-(, we have to check the Free Bengali >Fonts, > >"iLeap" use to offer some fonts in Bengali, chk that too .... . >"anandabazar" has their own font set, which are best among all, but >completely close, and NOT FREE. >Archan have worked something in Linux with "Shamal??" font, ask him too >... . >then, please chk about inscript, postscript and phonetic, last one will >be easy to handle for most of us. > >iti >Saugata. > >Mahendra M wrote: > > > > Hi all, > > > > We have recieved good number of volunteers for Bengali also. > > > > Maybe we can soon start work on Bengali.
