    Since last 3 months I took maintainership of this Project. Before
that there was almost zero CVS development(Changes in CVS) done. I was
also much concerned about same thing that we must have old tarballs. So
I started tagging CVS checkout from 2.1.x versions. As this project
currently does not have any webspace, there are no old tarballs
available. 
    For older SRPMs, grab them from following site
http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/blag/70000/en/os/i386/SRPMS.extras/
    Currently, there are 4 tags available to checkout previous versions.
   lohit_2_1_4_f
   lohit_2_1_3_f
   lohit_2_1_2_f
   lohit_2_1_1_f 

   e.g. You can use following command to checkout version lohit_2_1_1_f
from CVS.
cvs co -r lohit-2_1_1_f lohit

   You need to pick always latest package from CVS. Also you can check
some cool scripts available in CVS for generating TTF files from .sfd
files and to create tarball version of current CVS version.
