Thanks for giving a reproductible example. However, I cannot reproduce the
problem on GNU/Linux; after installing the font in the normal way, and
commenting out the `ly:font-config-add-directory` (because `C:/Windows/...`
doesn't exist on a GNU/Linux system), I get lyrics in that font.

Have you tried `ly:font-config-display-fonts` as I suggested in my previous 
message?

Have you tried replacing each `/` with `\\` in the path `C:/Users/...`?

Also, if I use your font, I get errors like

```
programming error: FT_Load_Sfnt_Table (): error.
```

which suggests that the font might be invalid somehow. However, I don't get 
these errors with `Nudi-01-e.ttf` downloaded from 
[https://hindityping.info/download/kannada-fonts-nudi](https://hindityping.info/download/kannada-fonts-nudi).
 Maybe try that?
