Akshar font: common questions
Is the Akshar font free to use?
It is free to download here. The font file does not state a licence, so for commercial work such as a book cover, logo or paid app, check with its designer (Designed by Vasudevan V, for Prakruti Editor) first.
Is Akshar a Unicode font?
Yes. Akshar is a Unicode font: it covers 82 Kannada characters at their standard code points, so Kannada text typed anywhere - including our online editor - displays correctly in it.
What is Akshar called in Word and other apps?
After installing it, look for "Akshar Unicode" in the font menu of Word, LibreOffice, Photoshop or any other app that uses your computer's fonts. Web apps such as Google Docs cannot see fonts installed on your computer. That is the name stored inside the font file, and it can differ slightly from the name on this page.
How do I install Akshar?
Download the TrueType file from this page. On Windows, right-click it and choose "Install". On a Mac, double-click it and click "Install Font" in Font Book. Restart any app that was already open and Akshar will appear in its font list.
