Michael Everson's free font Rupakara is a sans-serif font created primarily to give support to the newly-invented Indian rupee sign, which has been assigned to U+20B9, though the standardization process for it has not been completed. Its basic alphabet was designed in 2005 by Thatcher Ulrich, who put his font, called Tuffy, into the public domain. In addition to supporting the Currency Signs block of the Universal Character Set, Rupakara also supports all of the letters commonly used to transliterate Indian languages.
