Unicode Hindi to Kruti Dev for print and DTP

Some design and print programs cannot join Hindi letters, so Unicode Hindi shows broken matras there. Convert your text to Kruti Dev here, paste it into the design, and set the font to Kruti Dev 010. The letters then print exactly as they should.

How to fix it

  1. Paste Unicode Hindi

    Paste text typed on a phone, in Mangal, or from a website.

  2. Copy the Kruti Dev text

    The Kruti Dev version shows on the right. It looks like English letters until the font is set.

    Paste it into your design and set the font to Kruti Dev 010, or download a Word file with it set.

Questions people ask

Why does my design software break Hindi?

Unicode Hindi needs the program to reorder and join letters while drawing them. Older design programs skip that step. Kruti Dev text is already stored in drawing order, so it prints right in them.

Can I use Chanakya or Shree Lipi instead?

Yes. Open the font box and pick Chanakya, Shree-Dev 0714 or DV-TT Surekh. Use the font your press already has.

Will it look right on a phone after this?

No. Kruti Dev text is only for printing and old programs. Keep your Unicode copy for messages and websites.

Is my text uploaded?

No. Everything runs in your browser on this device. Nothing you type, paste or open is sent to a server, and the saved draft stays in this browser only.
