In early 1999, I was looking for a good Marathi (Devnagari) font. I did a lot of research but could not find a single font that had all the features that I wanted to have and was available FREE of cost! I found the Shivaji family fonts that was the closest match, but it had its own limitations in terms of quality and some keyboard mapping that I found not user friendly. CDAC had good quality fonts in their demo software. However, it always required their software in order to use it in any program. I wanted something thats easy to use, freely available, works across system and platforms without any alterations and doesn't need any additional software as dependency. I then gave up and took up the challenge of developing a font myself. Its a painstaking process but ultimately I thought I have to do it! I commited myself to this task and created my first font Kiran.ttf. It became popular in my friends' circle. Then I made an official release of the same in late 1999. In 2000, I registered kiranfont.com and made it available to everyone, FREE of charge, no bars and since then managed to keep it that way so far! It got so wildspread and popular among the masses, that I had to upgrade the download infrastructure multiple times to support the hits I'm continued to get. Around 2004, I identified few enhancements to original design and created 7 Premium fonts that are part of the current KF Family. On 15th January 2008, the first 3 Premium Fonts are also made FREE to public. On 15th January 2018, Total of 11 KF Fonts are available to public. The basic version of KF-Kiran is still available for people FREE of cost. So far, I've been bearing the cost of development of the fonts and maintaining the site, but any business can sponsor the site for an year for Rs.10000. I was hoping that UNICODE would solve the challenges working on computers in Devnagari and I can gracefully shutdown my activity but unfortunately, the picture is rather complicated... If you have reached here so far, thanks for reading. I've started sharing my thoughts on unicode devanagari at http://unidevmarathi.blogspot.com.
