Unicode fonts use international standards and work on all devices, browsers, and modern applications without special software. They're perfect for websites, social media, mobile apps, and cross-platform projects.

Most fonts on our website (especially open-source fonts like Noto Sans Kannada, Lohit Kannada) are free for commercial use. However, some fonts may have specific licensing restrictions. Always check the license information included with each font download, or contact the font creator if unsure.
It depends on the individual font license. Open-source fonts typically allow modification, while proprietary fonts may not. Check the license file included with your download for specific terms.
Redistribution rights vary by font. Open-source fonts generally allow redistribution, but always include the original license file. For fonts with unclear licensing, contact the original creator before redistributing.
While not legally required for most fonts, it's courteous to credit the font creator when possible. Check individual font licenses for specific attribution requirements. You don't need to credit KannadaFont.com, but we appreciate it if you share our website!
We provide fonts in TTF (TrueType Font) format, which is the most widely supported format. Our font generator also allows you to download PNG images (with or without transparent background) for immediate use.
TTF fonts work on Windows, Mac, Linux, and most modern devices. However, mobile devices (Android/iOS) have limitations on system-wide font installation. Check device-specific instructions above.
