Dear Jan, I know that there has been an effort to make a Ranjana/Lantsa unicode script from Anshuman Pandey since at least 2016. Quickly looking over this new effort in comparison to the 2016 document I see that things are similar. Just out of curiosity, how long does it usually take to get a new unicode font approved? I, for one, would be quite glad to see a Ranjana font and I hope it is finally produced.
