The following command used to work earlier. I do not know since when it has stopped.
Is there any database where I can find the "published" date or "end" date?
Is there any other package that will have similar functionality? I am not looking for betterpackage, I am looking for most similar package to this one for compatibility purpose.
# apt-get install ttf-devanagari-fonts
