Thankyou all for the positive comments. Will reply and clarify each and every doubts.
Please note that we can use the rupee symbol globally only after unicode approves it. With this launch we have proved that, if all of us work together, we don't have to wait for anyone else to approve the symbol to start using it. If we start using it others wil have to follow.
We know that font creation is not a rocketscience. Anyone with a good knowledge in computers can do it. There are many free tools available too. If a small company like Foradian can do like this, just think what the Indian Govt and Media working together can achieve to get the rupee symbol into all PCs and Keyboards. It is possible and can be done in days.

Font with Indian Rupee Symbol - Download and Use Free
We have made the first font with support for Indian currency symbol.
1. Download the above attached font Rupee.ttf or the new version Rupee_Foradian.ttf
2. Install the font. (It is easy. Just copy the font and paste it in "Fonts" folder in control panel)
3. Start using it. :)
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.
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.
