The font installer from the above site drops two fonts: Bangla Akademi
and Vidya (.ttf)

The installer is fun. Partly because of goofy packaging.

[1] It uses some evaluation packaging/installer (see screenshot)
[2] It has no instructions about running as root and, so it barfs on
trying to install to /usr/share/fonts/truetype
