In Python and FPDF , Kannada fonts are not displaying properly. Tried different Kannada /Uni code fonts but having same issue. characters jumbled and does not show it properly .
Code : example from fpdf import FPDF

pdf = FPDF() pdf.add_page() pdf.add_font('kan','','/Users/sathyarao/Library/Fonts/AnekKannada-VariableFont_wdth,wght.ttf') pdf.set_font("kan",size=30) ktext='ಕನ್ನಡ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಹೇಮ್ಮೇಯ ನಾಡು' pdf.cell(150, 30, txt = ktext , align='c') pdf.ln(30) pdf.output('font.pdf') print(ktext)

Correct way to display kannada is 'ಕನ್ನಡ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಹೇಮ್ಮೇಯ ನಾಡು' but in FPDF we see it as

image

print(ktext) - shows it correctly only issue with fpdf

ಕನ್ನಡ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಹೇಮ್ಮೇಯ ನಾಡು

Please help us to display Kannada words properly. Looks like this is issue will Indian languages.

pyfpdf is not maintained anymore, have you tried using fpdf2? https://pyfpdf.github.io/fpdf2/
