Free Bangla Fonts
The Free Bangla Fonts project is a volunteer run project dedicated for creating Free, high quality, completely Unicode compliant Open Type Bengali fonts. This project aims to be the central resource for getting and developing Free Bengali fonts. The initial aim of this project is to release a full set of Bengali fonts that supports all the major Bengali Yuktakhars (conjuncts).
