Lohit Open Type font for Kannada
[:http://fedora.redhat.com/|Fedora 6] has a new Kannada Unicode (Opentype) font released with the distribution. The font seems to be Kannada the counterpart of Lohit series of fonts for Indian languages.
Recently, a friend of mine brought this to my attention. But, like several other Opentype fonts for Kannada, this one is buggy as well. A close look at the font revealed several critical bugs.
The good thing, though, is that the font is released under [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPL|GPL]. Anyone can work on it, modify and redistribute it.
Here's a screen shot with a comparison of words typed using Lohit and other fonts:
