<div dir="ltr">I have looked into the requirements of "<b>A method/tool for validating the aesthetic characteristics of an OpenType font for Indian scripts</b>" and it appears I can try to implement this.

I am going through the OpenType specifications to gain more in depth knowledge.<div>

</div>The above statement is not completely true - one can begin and keep<br>
contributing without a GSoC cycle. However, I'll let that pass.<br>

</div>The list of problems that we provide are a guidance - they indicate<br>
the spectrum of projects in language technology which can be<br>
attempted. I'd suggest that you go through them and try to assess the<br>
one(s) in which you would have a reasonable familiarity with the<br>
aspects of language engineering. It would make for an interesting<br>
conversation thereafter.<br>
