Kruti Dev 010 is a legacy Hindi font that is still common in government offices, typing institutes and some typing exams. It is not Unicode: the file stores English letters and symbols, and the font draws Hindi shapes in their place. That is why Kruti Dev text turns into English letters when the font is missing.

HindiType does not distribute Kruti Dev because its licence terms are not clearly published. If your office or exam needs it, get the file from your institution or a source you trust, and scan it before opening. Then:
Kruti Dev uses the Remington typewriter layout. Each English key types a fixed Hindi shape, so d gives क and Shift + D gives its half form क्. You do not need the Windows Hindi keyboard. Learn the layout with the Kruti Dev keyboard chart and practise with the Kruti Dev typing test; neither needs the font installed.
A Kruti Dev document stores English characters. When the Kruti Dev 010 font is not installed, or a different font is applied, you see those characters instead of Hindi. Applying Mangal or another Unicode font does not fix it, because the stored characters are still English. Convert the text to Unicode instead.
Fonts in the Kruti Dev family share a style, but numbered versions do not always use the same character mapping as Kruti Dev 010. Text made with another version may convert incorrectly with a Kruti Dev 010 converter, so check which version a document uses.
Use Kruti Dev only when an exam, office or printing workflow specifically requires it. Unicode Hindi works on phones, websites, search engines and every modern app, and Kruti Dev does not. Convert old Kruti Dev files to Unicode when you can.
No. Kruti Dev 010 is a legacy font that stores English characters and draws Hindi shapes over them. Convert it to Unicode to use the text in modern apps.
Kruti Dev uses the Remington typewriter layout, typed on a normal English keyboard setting.
The font is missing or a different font is applied. Install and apply Kruti Dev 010, or convert the text to Unicode so it displays in any Hindi font.
Paste the Kruti Dev text into the Kruti Dev to Unicode converter, copy the result into your document and apply Mangal.
Not reliably. Phone keyboards and apps expect Unicode. Type in Unicode Hindi on phones and convert to Kruti Dev only when a document requires it.
