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
