Salam! Sorry for not providing feedback on Bengali font as the PC at home needs some fixing but I promise to write you back. But I must warn you that my Bangla is bit too rustic, still will try to persuade some one to have a look and give opinion.
BTW are you aware of the following: Quote Hi, In case there would be any echo... Akka is complete, and it's a matter of days before I release test 1.0 (I have yet to test it on a PC for endian related issues, and understand how fribidi outputs visual to logical maps, so in fact it's a matter of a couple of hours of active work at most). Among other features, enhanced console tools compatibility and filters will allow users to set Akka for other languages or encodings. So this is a call for anyone who would want to make his language/favorite encoding based on Semitic scripts as part of the release defaults, in particular to our Pakistani, Iranian, (Afghan?), Turkish (Ottoman-writing) mates who would like to see their language supported in console mode. I haven't seen any Syriac or Phoenician console font around... It might be fun as well to create some since all semitic based-scripts are supported. fonter is a good program for editing console fonts. I also didn't search for a LUG in the Maldive Islands, bur it could be interesting to contact them since they now can use the text console as well in their script;) So if you are interested, please contact me, it's a matter of more or less 1/2 hour non-technical work to add a new language/encoding, so IT IS VERY EASY AND SHORT. Note that bidi approximation mode is only supported for those encodings that are supported by fribidi, other encodings will have to either provide conversion functions from enc->UCS4 and vice versa, or do without and use only RTL and LTR monodirectional modes. Salaam, Chahine Unquote. I have no idea if it is of any value but I thought you might come across some one who might be interested in it from Bangla's prespective. Sorry if you already knew about it. Have a nice day, Tariq. > Hi all, > > I have posted version 1.3 of a new Bengali font and its encoding at: > > http://www.btinternet.com/~shaheedhaque/raga.tgz > > All feedback appreciated.
