Bug#257158: Please add Rekha font

[Jaldhar H. Vyas]

Package: ttf-indic-fonts
Severity: wishlist

>From http://utkarsh.org/?q=downloads you can download a Gujarati Truetype
font called rekha.ttf. I believe it is under a free license but can you
check with the authors? If it is ok, can you add it to the package?

Actually, looking at it in Fontforge, the internal name seems to be
Rachana. Can you ask what's going on with that?

Probably they based it on Rachana and forgot to edit the internal name.
There was also an Oriya mentioned as being at
http://oriya.sarovar.org/download/utkalm.ttf.gz
You should look into that one too.

Ok I've got all the requisite fonts in place except for Rekha. The
download page causes mozilla to crash. I've posted my problem on the
Indlinux mailing list. Once I manage to somehow download the font, I'll
be rebuilding the package. Expect to do it within a couple of days.
