(Adobe fonts development kit for Open Type) [2] * Follow Tamil script standards. Unicode. We have already started development on lohit2 git [3] I need help specifically for following items. * Creating test file with adding important combinations * Identifying standards around Tamil script, i did not found other than Unicode yet.
