You should standardize on "TrueType". 

Maybe also avoid starting the synopsis with "TrueType". Maybe not
mention it at all in the synopsis. Who cares about the font being
FrueType, OpenType or whatever?

I'm not sure about talking about "issues in <foo> are fixes and <bar>
is added" as this may change in the future (who knows?). Package
descriptions should avoid mentioningthings that are likely to change
over time because nobody will think about updating the description in
the future..:-)

BTW, the font is for Kannada *script* not language...:-)
