The most appropriate font for inclusion would be Mukti Narrow. Here are the details regarding the font. ## Style of the font: This font is different from the style used in Bengali printed material. However, feedback from demo sessions have led us to conclude that of all fonts that we have at present, this is the best font for on screen display. Moreover, as print support for Indic scripts is not there yet, we believe that it would be best to include Mukti Narrow at this stage. When print support is there and stable enough, we may want to include another font that conforms to the style used in Bengali printed material. ## What is the license of the fonts: GNU GPL v 2 (or later) ## Who drew the glyphs: The glyphs were donated to the Free Software Foundation, India (under the GPL) by Cyberscape Multimedia Ltd, Mumbai. The announcement regarding the donation is at http://www.gnu.org.in/software/software.html#akruti ## If the font contains Roman characters as well, where did they comefrom: The glyphs have been taken from the Freefonts project ( http://www.nongnu.org/freefont/ ) ## Where did the name come from: The name was given by the developer who converted the font into Open Type. The name Mukti comes from the name of our project - Mukta Bangla Font (Mukta means Free in Bengali and Mukti is Freedom (as in speech)). ## Known issues with this font: 1. Support for the "init" feature is not yet there. (This feature is not supported by Pango (AFAIK) and the init support in QT 3.2 is broken, so this really does not matter). 2. Some minor very adjustments are required for a. U09c7 and U09c8 b. U09dc, U09dd and U09df
