This script is used in West Bengal in India as well as in Bangladesh. Due to the large Bangladeshi immigrant community living in London, England, it should be relatively easy to find people with computer skills who can assist with any font issues as well as with production of content in Bengali.

IndLinux is working on a Bengali distribution of Linux. Volunteers in Bangla Desh, West Bengal, and elsewhere are working on a Linux distribution in Bengali, called Bengalinux. Several Free Bengali fonts are readily available, including the Ankur fonts and Code2000.

From the ict_of_bangladesh mailing list:

Hello All,

I'm *very* happy to announce the brand new Unicode based website of the most popular Bangladeshi newspaper Prothom Alo. The URL is http://alo.mukto.org

Please provide feedback about how you like the site.

Thanks Omi Azad
