--- Comment #3 from Dr Anirban Mitra <mitra_anirban@xxxxxxxxxxx> ---
fbf-beng-fonts should consist of all fonts created by our volunteers in Free /
Mukta Bangla Font Project https://www.nongnu.org/freebangfont which includes
Aakash, Likhan, Jamrul. Haritaki, Ani Mitra and also Mukti ( which was, by the
way, was default Bengali font in Fedora as its earlier avatar MuktiNarrow,
before Lohit was created by RedHat). The CVS repository of the project is
currently mirrored in https://github.com/mitradranirban/freebangfont 

It other developers of the group permit, I have plan to make Fedora packages of
the other fonts as well as well as upgrade them , as they are Open Source
(GPLed), in that case fbf-beng-fonts can act as a meta-package of all our fonts
including fbf-font-mukti, which was our best offering due to professional
quality glyphs. If Fedora-font-SIG allows adding members to the fbf-beng-fonts
later we can go forward on this. 

I have no plan to create mitra sans or mitra serif. As indicated in the
changelog, mitra was made as a monospace font for special requirement, I later
changed the name to mitramono to avoid confusion with a non-free nastaliq font
by Monotype corporation of the same name.

Now you suggest what is the way to go forward. 

Presently Debian ships Mukti, Ani, MitraMono, Likhan and Jamrul font as their
package fonts-beng-extra. However after exclusion of MuktiNarrow from Fedora
due to absence of Font exception issue in 2005, none of the Free-Bangla_font
products are in Fedora.
