Hi all,

I am a KDE/KOffice developer interested in pushing forward on Bengali support 
specifically, and Indic generally. I (think I) understand the reasons why 
this is not as simple as adding a few glyphs to the Unicode fonts, but it 
seems to me that this is the first place to start. To that end, I have 
started on a set of Bengali glyphs which I would like to donate to XFree86.

Now the rub: I am a complete newbie as far as fonts and font design goes, so I 
could really use a sanity check that I the glyphs are compatible with 
XFree86's font standards. I am using the excellent pfaedit program from 
pfaedit.sourceforge.net and I think I am creating a Type 1 Truetype font (a 
".ttf" file) using its auto hinting capability.

I can mail either pfaedit's .sfa file or the .ttf file to any interested 
parties...any takers? All advice and suggestions appreciated!

Thanks, Shaheed
