How to type the Rupee symbol ?
We mapped the grave acent symbol – ` (the key just above “tab” button in your keyboard) with the new Rupee symbol. Just select “Rupee” font from the drop down list of your fonts in your application and press the key just above your tab button. It will display our new rupee symbol. Try it.
Limitations The “Rupee.ttf” font is necessary to view the currency symbol. So as long as the new symbol is not encoded in to unicode font by default, we cant use the symbol universally.
Update - 9pm, July 16, 2010
Some people reported that they are facing a problem to select font from the drop down list of MS Office and similar applications. This is because we haven’t included glyphs for letters from A to Z. We are serious about copyright issues. Most of the fonts have complex copyright terms.
We have a solution and released the version 2.0 of the Rupee font. This one contains all the glyphs(letters) and is based on BitstreamVera

Hello Amartya Bag,
Thanks for posting valuable information on my blog….
Hi guys,
Thanx for the font. It didn’t work for me at first ( win 7/ office 2010 home – both genuine) . i tried double clicking the downloaded file but didn’t get anywhere. Then i just opened the Downloads window in Firefox, right clicked the font and chose open- install. After that it worked fine.
Thanks for searing this post.
