> fonts (more than hundred) under GPL today the the birthday of Mahatma
> Gandhi. He has fonts for all the languages. The press release and
> release note will be posted by evening. I wanted to break the news to
> all of you. We have been trying to have this meeting happen, but it
> happened today. The fonts will be putup on FSF-India's website for
> download, as well as their companies web site. The details will be
> announced soon. I will put it up on the FSF site as soon as I get the
> CD. We can also put them up at indic-computing site at sourceforge.
