I am interested to find out if font designers and other font sites would be
interested to showcase their fonts with alteration to the k / K letter shape
to क / क (lower and upper case) shape. This is per
http://Kalphabet.googlepages.com <http://kalphabet.googlepages.com/>;. These
could be hosted at TSNK (Thou Shall Not Kill) -> TSNक: Thou Shall Not कill
website - www.TSNK.org <http://www.tsnk.org/>;.
The result would be a boost for the font community showing fonts development
and a pro bono cause.
Best,

Sorry but I have looked at that web page given and, well..... What a
load of old TWADDLE!!!! What the hell is wrong with the way our
alphabet is formed? This supposed new way of writing the letter 'K'
is more awkward and more time consuming.
Totally agree with my fellow LUG members, this is SPAM and seemingly
some form of religious spam.

Dear www.TSNK.org I have placed an order for
2 x Naan bread

2 X Onion bhaji
1 X Chicken Phal
1 X Portion poppadoms
Using some of the proposed new fonts, I have been waiting 3 hours now and getting very
very hungry could you please look into the delay?

Hey fellow LUGeteers :-) I'm a touch concerned that we may be
starting to get a bit racist with this thread. Step back and think
how a newcomer to the LUG who happens to be of Asian descent might
feel about some of the comments. I've taken the pee out of the
'campaign' to change a perfectly good letter of the alphabet, well,
with my name I would :-) but I think we are starting to go beyond the
bounds of that.
All I'm saying is think...

Completely agreed, Kevan - too mean in some places (towards outright
inappropriate for public discussion).
In fairness, it would have been better to ignore the user completely
after Kris's (well-written) e-mail.

How do you even know he's of Asian descent? Perhaps he or she is a fellow
cracker who's decided that Hare Krishna is the path to enlightenment?
I'd say that assumption constitutes racism.
Jon
P.s I don't care either way. This is an effort to illustrate that bandying
the term "racism" around is dangerous in itself. In my opinion, it's used
far too often by those feeling that political correctness and not offending
others sensibilities (or lack of them) is a good thing to do.

As this person has been spamming other LUGs and websites with this nonsense
I am less minded to really give a damn if they get offended.

Oh please! Go back and read again what I wrote. At no time did I
claim that the spammer was actually Asian. What I did say was the
comments were indeed getting to be what could be construed as racist
and that I felt that somebody looking in on the list may get that
impression. I'm afraid you have now reinforced that view.
No, I am not a racist apologist either. Angry? You damn well better
believe I am and this is very unusual for me to have a go back like
this. Staffs LUG is for everybody in our area who has an interest in
Linux. I would not want anybody to feel that any of us were making
fun of them or another section of our society. Now, that is different
to making an acceptable joke. I made tried to make people aware to
NOT cross the line of acceptability.

I'm sorry, there's nothing wrong with erring on the side of caution -
whether 'racism' is the correct word or not (we may never know) it
wasn't all very appropriate.. And this is meant to be a friendly
society.
No-one's trying to enforce political correctness upon you (or anyone).

so a bunch of people... "think" that the letter "K" is the wrong
shape?
urm.... hello?! is it just me or has the letter "K" being the shape of
"K"
for hundreds of years?
i seriously hope this is a joke i really do...
so basically... due to "religion" reasons people want the letter "K"
changed?
do people not realize there's more important things happening in the world?
thanks for reading,
martin
