There are 5 types of CDAC fonts standards - differ each other.
1. OR-TT(Sarala)
2. OR1-TT(Salara)
3. ORB-TT(Sarala)
4. ORW-TT(Sarala)
5. ORBW-TT(Sarala)

The latest is the last one.

Therefore I am following TDIL since last 3-4 years for standardising the 8 bit fonts, for which the INSFOC draft released at TDIL website, Please visit. Because stabilising Unicode for Indic linked with updatation of old PCs to higher configuaration PC hardwares and OSs by users may take another 2-3 years, majority of Govt. of Offices and general users have to stick to 8bit encodings only.
