For taking user input in kannada, you can create a custom Text box control as described here

also you can get rid of resource files by using google website Translator which translates your page on the fly. you just need to set you default language as Kannada

You may use unicode UTF-8 to display Kannada. Save the labels text in UTF-8 and add the following lines in your web page:

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
...
</head>

Generically, you can use a custom font using @font-face in your CSS. Here's a very basic example:

@font-face {
    font-family: 'YourFontName'; /*a name to be used later*/
    src: url('http://domain.com/fonts/font.ttf'); /*URL to font*/
}

Then, trivially, to use the font on a specific element:

.classname {
    font-family: 'YourFontName';
}
