Sayamindu Dasgupta <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: GNU Bangla Fonts Project
System name: gnubangfonts
Type: non-GNU

Description:
The proposed project aims to be a centralised place for GPL\'ed Bengali/Bangla 
fonts. Bengali is the 5th largest language in the world (in terms of people 
speaking it), and it is a pity that there is no centralised place from where 
users can download Free Bengali fonts. I am an amateur font developer, and I am 
at present developing a set of Bengali Open Type Fonts (OTF), which are 
completely Unicode compliant, and I plan to get more developers interested in 
making Free fonts for Bengali, which can be hosted in here.

I have already made a OTF for Bengali - but, as I do not have the testing 
software (I need GNOME 2), I have not released it yet. I will be getting GNOME 
2 later this week, and I plan to release it then. If you want the fonts, let me 
know at my email address, and I will send it to you. I have checked it in Yudit 
(www.yudit.org), and it is working - but still I need to see it in Gnome 2.



Other Software Required:
Any font rendering engine that supports Indic OTF rendering (Latest version of 
Pango, etc)
