  Description     : Font for Limbu (or Kirat Sirijonga, a script used in
Nepal)


Description:

Font for Limbu, or Kirat Sirijonga, a script which is used by around
400,000 people in Nepal. This font has been designed to support literacy
and materials development work in the Limbu language.

The current font - Namdhinggo SIL L - uses an encoding that is common
among other fonts for the script. Although the Limbu script has been
accepted into The Unicode Standard, this font does not yet support that
international standard. A Unicode-based version of Namdhinggo SIL is
currently in the final stages of development.
