+In 2004, Red Hat has released five Indian language fonts as open source
+licensed under the GPL. The fonts were named "Lohit" which means "Red" in
+Sanskrit. Currently, the font family supports 11 Indian languages: Assamese,
+Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Oriya, Punjabi, Tamil,
+Telugu, and are available as TrueType fonts. Now, Fedora Project and its
+contributors took the responsibility to consolidate the further efforts and
+improvements of the Lohit fonts.
+
+The project goal is to improve existing offerings of the fonts - making sure
+the Lohit fonts deliver the best available quality and functions to the
+community.
