Hello,
As we had already proceeded with the work for Lohit-Telugu as planned earlier [1], We are now going to announce the alpha release for Lohit-Telugu. We have done testing of Lohit-Telugu on Linux. We have also tested Lohit-Telugu on Unicode Text Rendering Reference System [2]. Here are the screenshots for the same.
