In 2004, Red Hat has released five Indian language fonts as open source
|
||
|
|
licensed under the GPL. The fonts were named "Lohit" which means "Red" in
|
||
|
|
Sanskrit. Currently, the font family supports 11 Indian languages: Assamese,
|
||
|
|
Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Oriya, Punjabi, Tamil,
|
||
|
|
Telugu, and are available as TrueType fonts. Now, Fedora Project and its
|
||
|
|
contributors took the responsibility to consolidate the further efforts and
|
||
|
|
improvements of the Lohit fonts.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The project goal is to improve existing offerings of the fonts - making sure
|
||
|
|
the Lohit fonts deliver the best available quality and functions to the
|
||
|
|
community.
