[Project-ideas] GSoC idea for improving the aesthetic quality of Indian Scripts

[Mayank Jha]

Sorry for getting the idea wrong, So we need to develop some testing script
for some platform, as fontQA is for FontLabs. But since FontLabs is not
freely available there is no way to really test and know how to develop
fontQA. So, I think we can start off with Font Forge, which also supports
python scripting.
So i would be developing a testing script to assess quality of fonts in the
Font Forge framework.

The characteristics I metntioned here is specific to devanagri script, the
general parameters like font weights and point sizes mentioned here
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-fonts/, are not mentioned as I naively assumed
them to be considered, should I mention them too ?

Referring to http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-fonts/ I could not find the features
specific to indic scripts like devanagri, and it redirects to the microsoft
page, for the same, so I kept referring to uniscribe.

So to sum up, I think what the project aims is to create sets of python
scripts in Font Forge to judge the quality of fonts.
Am I still missing something ?
