hi, i just jopined this group so, let me introduce myself :) (i think anindya knows me... we have met on the gnome list) i am from kolkata, and i'm a member of the ilug-kolkata chapter i am currently in class XII, and gnu/linux is my obsession ;) i have worked for the linux doc. project, and also in a few minor projects here and there currently, i'm doing my largest project - a supported hardware directory for the free software foundation regarding bangla4linux, i have poked around quite a lot, and am currently translating the GPL into bangla. i have discovered a bangla open type font that is unicode compliant and supports all the conjuncts and hence, is the thing we need :) however, it is a shareware, but at least we can begin work using this font meanwhile Taneem Ahmed ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) is helping a company make a set of bangla otf fonts and thanx to taneem's efforts, the first font of this set will be gpl'ed :D however, i do not yet know whether the gnome font rendering engine would be able to render the bangla conjuncts correctly :( but we can try -iti- sdg
ps: i will be going to the indic-computing workshop in bnagalore this month and hopefully, i will be meeting the co-ordinators of the hindi, tamil, and malayalam translation teams. that would be quite helpful -- Sayamindu Dasgupta http://www.peacefulaction.org/sayamindu/ If you go out of your mind, do it quietly, so as not to disturb those around you. ____________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe from this list [Bangla Penguin] send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe banglapenguin' in the subjectline and body.
