Mukti is the default font used for the user interface in the Ankur Bangla localization of the Linux GNOME Desktop operating system.

The Ankur Bangla Live CD was developed single-handedly by Sayamindu Dasgupta between December 2002 and January 2003, when he was a high school student in Kolkata, India. Ankur was a collaborative effort of Bengali speaking diaspora all over world, both of Indian and Bangladeshi origin.

Free Bangla Font Project is the pioneer of creation of Unicode encoded open source Bangla fonts in OpenType format. The Mukti Narrow font was created from legacy ANSI encoded Bangla Font bng-2n released under GNU Public Licence by Cyberscape Multimedia Ltd.
