We are also hosting the Ani set of fonts created by Dr. Anirban Mitra.

Likhan

Mr. Deepayan Sarkar has developed a Bengali OpenType™ Font Likhan.

Mukti (Freedom)

One of the best fonts in our project is the Mukti Narrow set of fonts also developed by Dr. Anirban Mitra.
You can download a tarball containing the Bold and Normal versions of the font from the download page.

Installing the Fonts on Your System

There is a mini font howto provided in the Ankur Bangla project website which explains the steps required in installing our fonts on your GNU/Linux system.

Alternately, if you are using a Debian or Ubuntu system, you can install our fonts easily by issuing this command from your console --
$ sudo apt-get install ttf-bengali-fonts
This will automatically install all our fonts in addition to a few more Bangla fonts.
