Thought about integrating the Rupee Symbol into basic fonts to allow easy use. Aside from the entire nationalistic hoopla – it is a cool symbol. And it definitely needs to be redesigned so that it can be integrated into all basic fonts without sticking out. The folks at Foradian have tried to do so. They’ve explained quite nicely how to install fonts – so check them out.

Below are my efforts at making a Times New Roman Rupee font and an Arial Rupee font. I’ve used the same grave symbol ` (button above the tab key) to be the Rupee symbol.

Here are the Times New Roman Rupee Font & Arial Rupee Font. Available for download in ttf and odf.
