In FPDF Kannada fonts are not displaying correctly.

[gksathyarao]

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

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.
