Hi,

details of the gargi font which we wish to host under a project at
savannah.


gargi font is a unicode opentype font developed/maintained using
fontforge. http://www.fontforge.net )
Fontforge used to be known as PfaEdit.

The entire font can be viewed in fontforge or any other software
capable of editing OpenType font and also can be modified there
itself. It uses none of the external programing languages or libraries
except those embedded in fontforge itself.

www.indictrans.org . Now It is available for download at
