[Tugindia] Kannada in Unicode in LaTeX

[S. venkataraman]

Try out xetex.
You have to use fontspec package to specify a unicode compliant
font.   The advantage with xetex is you can use truetype fonts.
I have tried xelatex for devanagari and it works. I do not know much about
kannada.  Try posting in xetex list.
Regards,
Venkataraman
