Apple provides two fonts, Kannada and Kannada Sangam. You can download and use any other Unicode font. Just search google for "Kannada unicode font".

When you typed with the Kannada keyboard, did you get Kannada text in your app? Apple provides Kannada fonts already, there's no need to download them.
Do you see the Kannada keyboard icon in the top right corner of the screen, like this?
That is required for the Kannada input source to be active and for Kannada text to be produced (just adding Kannada to the list in the system preferences/keyboard/input sources is not enough by itself).
What kind of font was it (e.g. OpenType Truetype, OpenType Postscript, Truetype collection (ttc), etc.)? Did you drop the font into your local Library/Fonts folder and reboot before attempting to selecting it for usage in Pages?

PS If your Nudi font is one of the old legacy versions, where Kannada is mapped to Latin letters, so you would expect to be able to type Kannada using the US input source, that 1990's technology is not supported by Apple, and you may find it difficult to find an app that will accept it. Instead Apple provides fonts and keyboards for Unicode Kannada, which is the current international standard and should work in all apps.

So i wont be able to use these fonts even in third party application ?
Is there some reason you MUST use old non-unicode ascii fonts? If yes, try an app like LibreOffice.
But I recommend you switch to Unicode. That way anyone in the world can read your stuff without having to go find and install some special font.
Its .ttf true type font. I added using fontbook. its kannada font, and i used kannada keyboard( added using input source under keyboard settings)
So i wont be able to use these fonts even in third party application ? Even with fonts installed on users space in fontbook?
Yes. I enabled kannada keyboard from top bar. It types kannada but only 1 font i guess, It wont allow me to set any other kannada language font.

PS In MacOS Catalina, Apple added more Unicode Kannada fonts: Baloo Kannada, Noto Sans Kannada, Noto Serif Kannada, and Tiro Kannada.
Thanks Tom and Vikingosx.
Unable to set the ttf fonts, it only displays in preview but cannot set in any app
