Asomiya_Rohini font

Few months back I mentioned about a font set for Assamese which would include all necessary forms and be suitable for using with UNICODE. Respected Wahid Saleh Sir of e-jonaki-jug has shown interest in the font. Since then I worked some more on the the font set and they are usable now.

The font-set is a modified work on SolaimanLipi by Solaiman Karim.

If you are interested you can download the font from here.

There is demo page with UNICODE webpage at this address: http://www.bhuruka.org/rohini/html.html

However, please bear in mind that demo page has embedded font. So, it will take some time to load. Also, the page does not work in Google Chrome (at least in my version). The page worked fine with IE6 and Mozilla.

I shall be glad to know any comments, suggestions about the font. You can contact me for any problem using the font.

Hello all,
Posting after a long gap! Currently busy putting together a website to maintain a database of books published from Assam. The website is up and running, but currently is in beta phase. The site is planned as a community driven project where any member can add books and comment and share their thought about the book.

Here is the link:
