Hi, you probably just need to familiarise yourself with a table of glyphs and get a table of consonant conjuncts.
If there are intricacies (eg. like khondo tha and ta-y-hashanta as I recently found out) you'll run into them when you run into them. I don't imagine James Kass reads all the scripts in code2000, but its a good font. So, if people think its worth while I'm willing to scan in the relevant part of the bangla tutoring book I reference and send the consonant conjucnt tables. Between that and barda's bdf fonts they cover all the juktakhor. I'd imagine that there are no copyright issues since its just a couple of pages (not even a complete chapter) and we arn't charging money. -kg On 17 Oct 2002, Gollum wrote: > > gimli > tell me one thing in font designing. do we need to be artistic.
