But, Unfortunately no Bangla OTF was included with RH/Fedora distro.
Last time we gave a details on the Font issue to "Owen Taylor"

But didn't get any response from him. From then, we are slow in translating.
Without the fonts - isn't it meaningless to have these translated ? :-|
No, it is not meaningless. There are other languages as well that have
similar problems with the inclusion of fonts. Some of those languages
have translations since '98... :'(
As far as I know, Owen is not the person to talk about inclusion of
fonts in Fedora. I believe you simply did not get the right person in
the first place.
To disseminate your font properly, talk to the
xfree86.org "fonts"
mailing list (
www.xfree86.org) to have it included in XFree86.
Have a strong case about the licensing of your font(s).
How about including your font in an existing font? Search for "freefont"
on
gnu.org.
Now go back and continue localising.
