Hello,
I have been taking Kannada classes for over a year and decided to give it a go with a font. I am currently learning the ropes so advice on how to proceed after the initial consonants will be apreciated. I feel that the coding will be of particular importance.

    I’m the wrong person to ask about Kannada. I’ve only done it once. Of course, the hard part about Kannada is that there aren’t many people who have done it more than once to ask for help.

    I contacted an Indic type foundry and they quoted me something like $20 000 per Kannada master and about $3000 for consultation. They were really fast and professional. Makes you REALLY appreciate TypeDrawers. Time is money and consulting takes time. Maybe I should start charging $3000 for consulting for Cyrillic. ;)
