Frequently asked questions

Is Kruti Dev a Unicode font?

No. Kruti Dev 010 is a legacy font that draws Hindi shapes in place of Latin characters. The stored text is Latin letters and symbols, so it must be converted before it works as Unicode Hindi.

Why does my Kruti Dev text show English letters?

Kruti Dev text only looks like Hindi when the Kruti Dev 010 font is installed and applied. Without the font you see the underlying Latin characters. Converting to Unicode fixes this permanently.

How do I convert Kruti Dev to Mangal?

Convert the text to Unicode here, then paste it into your document and apply Mangal or any other Unicode Devanagari font. Mangal is a Unicode font, so no further conversion is needed.

Is my text uploaded during conversion?

No. Conversion runs in your browser. The text is not sent to a server.

Does the converter keep formatting?

It converts plain text only. Bold, tables and other document formatting are not preserved, so paste the result back into your document and review important files.
