• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description archan 2003-08-11 01:11:38 UTC]

I have made a ebuild for installing "Unicode compliant Open Type Bengali fonts"
in gentoo Linux System. Bangla is my native language. Bangla is the one of the
Language spoken in India and Bangladesh. Historically Bangla is originated from
a language called "Prakrit" which had its root in Sanskrit.

Following project is developing Unicode compliant Open Type Bengla fonts
http://www.nongnu.org/freebangfont/index.html

It is a subproject of http://www.bengalinux.org/
http://www.bengalinux.org/

Possibly it is the first Bangla Font support initiative for Gentoo Linux.
