Answer = Releasing rupee font for Indian Rupee sign which was reported in major national media and newspapers. As soon as the new Indian Rupee sign was approved, Foradian technologies published a free digital font named "Rupee Foradian" on 16 July 2010.The font and the blog became a viral phenomenon. The font was created using a vector image and its mapping is to the grave accentkey of the keyboard, which was chosen because the grave accent key is often not used by computer users. The font received some criticism for the mapping to the grave accent key, and per being released much ahead of its approval for unicode. The Rupee sign may be made visible on some word-processors also where the font is not installed in the system, by choosing to embed the font in the document in file saving options. However, embedding the Foradian Rupee Font renders the document read-only, i.e., the document cannot be edited on a system where the font is not installed.
