I was busy at this Friday and Thursday. I have no time to read the other mails but just skimming them, so I'll reply with merely reading this mail. >>>>> In (Re: no font shown with tamil.el), >>>>> Stallman wrote: > This is really the crucial information.

Dr. Anupam, who worked for CDAC at that time and gave me the permisson, no longer work there. o It seems they've given the right to distribute their fonts for various places, if we search the web sites with their font name as keyword. o I realize that their fonts are not really free fonts, but since they seems beautiful, popular, and only well known glyphs so that we had no choice for that fonts other than theirs at that time. Now situation may change now. o I thought that the copyright issue of the program code for char->glyph conversion and the copyright of font can be separated.
