Glad to hear that ... well I haven't worked for Sindhi but I worked on  Urdu live CD \
as our final year project ... I would be very happy to help you in this regard...   
I've tested Sindhi fonts from Latif Sagar that I got from Sindhi computing for my \
Survey of  Sindhi and Pashto support on Linux . they don't have very encouraging \
results , font renderer for KDE QT does not render sindhi characters properly (those \
that only belong to Sindhi). Gnome's Pango however has more encouraging results in \
this regard.  
Have you heard about CRULP ( Center for research in Urdu Language processing ) in \
Lahore FAST-NU headed by Dr.Sarmad. We plan to working for development of all the \
Pakistani languages on Linux and Windows Platform. So I guess lets just make a joint \
venture.   
Best Regards
Nadir

Respected Members,
 
I'm from Pakistan, and I want to bring a new Pakistani language to KDE. In Pakistan \
the Cheif language spoken is Urdu (National language), with Sindhi on number 2.  Its \
written in Arabic script, and is included in the Unicode.  The ISO standard name for \
Sindhi is "sd". Please reply me if anyone is already working on Sindhi, or someone \
can join me for this.  
Thank You All
AR Niz
