[Devel] Re: testing Indic languages in UTF8

[Markus Scherer]

Some of the information on the site does not entirely inspire confidence, or maybe it's just 
outdated. Quote from the FAQ (http://acharya.iitm.ac.in/faq.html):

Q: I am a designer of fonts for Indian scripts. Will the new Windows editor be 
able to use my fonts?

A:      Yes, if you give if free to others.

   When you design your fonts, try to follow the ISO Latin 8859-01 encoding. This way, you will be 
able to give fonts for the Windows, Unix and Mac at the same time. Avoid UNICODE encoding if you can 
help it since font conversions to other formats  are difficult.
