A New Malayalam Free Software Font Project

[Dave Crossland]

Hi,

I'm a student at The University of Reading, UK, on the Masters degree
in Typeface Design - http://www.typedesign.rdg.ac.uk/ - and am working
on free software fonts.

A significant part of the course is developing our typeface into a
family with a complex script complement, and full OpenType features.

I am considering designing an original Malayalam typeface designed for
reading long passages of text on screen, that will be wholly created
with and released as free software.

I found your contact details on the GNU Savannah Project SMC members
page, and thought I'd email you to see if you would be interested in
contributing to my project a little.

I would be very grateful if you could tell me (or email digital
photos) about the kinds of documents you make and print, and how much
text created by free software is read on-screen or printed out. In
fact, general descriptions about how widely used GNU/Linux is, and
what kinds of things it is used for, would be great :-)

Dave
