I have looked into the requirements of "*A method/tool for validating the aesthetic characteristics of an OpenType font for Indian scripts*" and it appears I can try to implement this. I know Hindi( one Indian language) and I have sound knowledge of mobile platform( Android) and web platforms( html, sql, javascript). I am going through the OpenType specifications to gain more in depth knowledge.
But I would like to know what you have in mind regarding its implementation, as it hasn't been mentioned which language the tools would be in. So I would like a bit more idea of this project.
