Namdhinggo Font
========================

This file provides detailed information on the Namdhinggo font. This
information should be distributed along with the Namdhinggo font and
any derivative works.


Basic Font Information
----------------------

The Limbu, or Kirat Sirijonga, script is used by around 400,000 people in Nepal.

The goal for this product was to provide a single Unicode-based font
that would contain all Limbu characters. This font was designed to support
literacy and materials development work in the Limbu language.
