<p>Red Hat has released ''five Indian language'' fonts as open source licensed under the GPL. The fonts are named ''Lohit'' which means Red in Sanskrit. Currently, the font family supports 16 Indian languages: ''Assamese'', ''Bengali'', ''Gujarati'', ''Hindi'', ''Kannada'', ''Kashmiri'', ''Konkani'', ''Maithili'', ''Malayalam'', ''Marathi'', ''Nepali'', ''Oriya'', ''Punjabi'', ''Sindhi'', ''Tamil'', and ''Telugu''. Now, Fedora Project and its contributors took the responsibility to consolidate the further efforts and improvements of the Lohit fonts. Lohit Fonts are Unicode compatible.</p>
