       Azadul:

       First, I'm just wondering: what is NASA doing with Bengali
       fonts (or is this just you're own personal effort)?

       Input methods are a general problem which the industry has not
       adequately solved, in my opinion. I may have some pointers for
       you, but the answer to your question depends at least upon what
       OS you are targetting. Is it MS Windows? If so, which
       version(s)?

       How are you handling the complex rendering issues associated
       with Bengali? Is this an OpenType font that utilizes
       Microsoft's Uniscribe engine? If not, what are you doing in
       this regard?

       When you get your font complete, what are your plans regarding
       licensing and distribution?

       Peter
