I think, I'll look into Barda's fonts and convert them to otf if
possible - what's his email - I tried to contact him at his iisc
address, and it bounced  :(
I also have a set of nice looking fonts (GPLed) which also can be
transformed into OTF

PS: I updated the fonts at cvs
(http://www.nongnu.org/freebangfont/downloads.html) - I think that the

PS again: Hey! Some of you ppl look up the M$ OTF specs - I might need
volunteers for making the OTF tables soon ;)
