well, taking into account that you've been using baraha, you must be 
using windows.  There are different layouts for writing kannada on both 
windows and linux. The one is inscript, the other one is 
transliteration. By what you've said, it seems that you've been using 
transliteration with baraha direct utility.  There's one more such 
transliteration scheme + nudi layout provided by M$ itslef, and is 
available here: http://www.bhashaindia.com/Downloads/KannadaIME.zip

The default available layout is inscript layout, to enable which no 
extra downloads are required (just keep your WinXp CD in hand when it 
asks for installing the new files) The detailed directions are available 
here:

I don't see a reason why we should have such a thing when you're able to 
type directly in kannada.  Are you trying to re-explore yourself and 
your language with transliteration, and like to forget kannada lipi in 
any way? ;)

Just to summarize it all, sorry to tell this, but ನಿಮ್ಮ  ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾವನೆಯಲ್ಲಿ 
ಹುರುಳಿಲ್ಲ ;)

PS: The implementation of such type in kannadakasturi.com has its own 
reasons, such thing might not be useful or may not be implementable on 
kn wikipedia.
