>Description:
I'm not able to find good Indic fonts in the ports. Fedora's Lohit project has some great fonts for a whole bunch of Indian languages and many Linux distros provide it in their repos.
Here's a link to Gentoo's ebuild: http://www.gentoo-portage.com/media-fonts/fonts-indic
Please add this to the ports.
Thank you.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
I've written a port. (attached)
Feel free to modify it.
Lohit fonts are under GPL.
