Tunga font: common questions
Is the Tunga 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 (Raghunath Joshi (Type Director), Vinay Saynekar) first.

What is Tunga called in Word and other apps?
After installing it, look for "Tunga" 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.
