Benne font: common questions

Is the Benne font free to use?

Yes. Benne is released under the SIL Open Font License, which lets you use it free of charge in personal and commercial work - documents, print, logos, websites and apps. The only thing you may not do is sell the font file on its own.

Is Benne a Unicode font?

Yes. Benne is a Unicode font: it covers 87 Kannada characters at their standard code points, so Kannada text typed anywhere - including our online editor - displays correctly in it.

What is Benne called in Word and other apps?

After installing it, look for "Benne" 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 Benne?

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 Benne will appear in its font list.
