Re: [Freebangfont-devel] Fonts that go into distros

[Deepayan Sarkar]

True. Also Likhan is much improved from the last release. Mukti, in my 
experience, works well on Windows, but not on Linux. A (hopefully) not very 
difficult option would be to use the Mukti/Akruti glyphs in the template font 
and release that. I've never actually looked at Ani, but the same should 
apply.

I have spent almost all my time for the last week on a different project, but 
that's more or less done. I should now be able to do some stuff on this front 
(namely, release the template font properly and release a version of Likhan 
based on that).
