This is a input method for Prachalit lipi (Newa character set introduced in Unicode 9.0) made for those who are comfortable with TTF fonts like Kantipur and Preeti.

Very limited font support for Newa script so far. One font that does is Noto Sans Newa

This needs ibus or fcitx packages. I have tested this on ArchLinux but it should work in other distros if you can get those packages installed.
