In response to Antony Brand's ideal Bangla software, you only raised your eye brow for Avro's feature and none else. So, my exclamation was: Are you jealous!

Hello

I was just  daydreaming about my ideal multilingual software and thought that it would:

1. allow you to create your own keyboard layout (like Avro)
   
2. allow you to take your own fonts with you wherever you go (like Avro Portable)
3. allow you to type in bangla on someone else's computer (Avro Portable does that for XP and Vista)
4. be available on Windows, Linux and Mac (Ekushey has made buying a mac a possibility for me now. How long before Adobe software handles indic scripts properly)
5. work for other languages (I've used Avro to type in Devanagari and for accented Latin characters. Greek and Cyrillic would be easy to implement).
   

I think that whoever can crack this one is sitting on a goldmine. Get the whole thing to run platform independently from a web based interface is on to a winner.  

Feedback, either on the list or by email welcome

all the best
