Great work!

Yes, for sure.


I am planning to release a tuxtype-1.5.17 today as the last release prior to

Yes sinhala uses lklug.ttf unicode font.

 As the number of fonts grows, it is becoming more important

Yes I too think so. Let's change them as the recommended dependencies to
install tuxtype.
Even for each indic language's themes we need to use different different
fonts. David I think I can fix this problem.

thanks
