could somebody make a virtual package say lohit-indian fonts or indian fonts ?
Hi all,
Whenever I set a new machine I find it a bit pain to figure out all
the indian fonts. IIRC Karthik has been maintaining the whole set of
fonts.
@Karthik, would it be lots of work if you were to have a new virtual
package which has tight dependency on all the Indian fonts while other
packages have it in suggests (a field we haven't used at least on the
Indian fonts packages till yet.)
