As per Michael Kaplan’s blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/michkap/archive/2006/07/17/667809.aspx

Let me copy the excerpt –

I suppose I might have been the loudest internal complainercontact about the crashing bugs in the earliest released versions of GDI+ 1.0 any time you had a valid Bengali font and tried to use it, though that was mainly inspired by the loudest external complainercustomer, who had my email address since the first beta of MSKLC. He was actually made a Microsoft MVP not too long ago, I am sure in part due to his stubborn refusal to put up with a “by design” reponse to a bug if such a design would be stupid. Omi, you rock, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!

Hey Omi, congrats!
For the uninitiated: Michael Kaplan is working in the globalization team at Microsoft. He has been regarded very high by the i18n community. I had the opportunity of meeting and discussing (and arguing withJ) him at Seattle and Redmond more than twice. I like his frank blogs.

Regards,
Pavanaja
