From the readings of the thread since yesterday I find that this an issue as
yet unresolved. BUt perhaps Abdul's and John Hudson's advise that I could
try upon.

As for Abdul's query on whether the fonts are for win/mac/internet/word
processing. I would say they are primaryly for win / internet /
word-processing, but plans for macintosh as well. I have tried to make my
fonts pc/mac compatible. (see http://www.bangasanskriti.com ).
Now a side issue, I feel we go in for a newsgroup where the postings could
be better organised, and easily accessible.
Thanks
