Bug#343446: [g-i] Missing Bengali fonts

Davide, Even I think it'd be best if you strip the Bengali glyphs from the current freefonts package and use the newer MuktiNarrow fonts. The Mukti fonts look much better than the others. Regards, BG -- Baishampayan Ghose Free Software Foundation of India b.ghose at gnu.org.in

IMO MuktiNarrow*.ttf seems better. It will be best if you can use updated [unicode 4.1.0] MuktiNarrow font from the link Omi gave. http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ekushey/MuktiNarrow_11-08-2005.ttf?download Best, `Jamil On 12/19/05, Davide Viti [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: [5], [6], [7]
