Fonts in the ULS font repo should be free and open. To me it's not clear if this is true for the font Utkal that's used for language code "or". font.ini states that http://www.exnet.btinternet.co.uk is the source for the font. That site no longer exists. A Google search leads me to http://scriptsource.org/cms/scripts/page.php?item_id=entry_detail&uid=pk4tqcntcm That page states: Link http://oriya.sarovar.org/user_download.html Copyright © 2004 - 2005 Rebati Project License Restricted - see terms below This software can be downloaded, installed and used free of charge.

Contributor Steph Holloway We claim to have license GPL for version 0.13, but I cannot find details about that version anywhere. I did find a version 0.13 Oriya font linked through http://www.wazu.jp/gallery/Fonts_Oriya.html that points to http://www.exnet.btinternet.co.uk. Fishy or just lost in sites that are no longer available?

(In reply to comment #1) > So, GPL should be fine for this? Yes, absolutely. I'm wondering what we can do so that not someone else will end up asking the same question I have...
