So, I installed texlive-xetex and obtained the Akshar font [1]. I've
added a \setmainfont[Script=Kannada]{Akshar} in my file and the error I
get is,

    ! Font \zf at basefont=Akshar/ICU at 10.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM)
    file or ins talled font not found.

I have not been able to figure out how to create the required TFM files
from the TTF file. Any guidance would be most appreciated. I have
attached the test case and the log.
