Mangal and Kruti Dev: Why Changing the Font Is Not Enough
See why changing the font alone doesn’t convert Hindi for examples in both formats.
Here is the part most people miss. Mangal is not an old font like Kruti Dev. It is a Unicode font that ships with Windows and MS Office. So when you type in Mangal, your computer stores real Hindi letters, each with its own Unicode code.
Kruti Dev 010, by contrast, stores English keyboard keys and only draws them as Hindi. That is why selecting Mangal text in Word and picking Kruti Dev 010 from the font list turns नमस्ते into boxes or nonsense. The letters underneath must change first, and that is exactly what this converter does.
Here is what changes inside real office words:
| Mangal text | Kruti Dev 010 keys | What to notice |
|---|---|---|
| नमस्ते | ueLrs | The half स becomes the L key |
| हिंदी | fganh | The ि sign moves to the front as f |
| राजभाषा | jktHkk”kk | ष is typed with the ” key |
| प्रमाण पत्र | izek.k i= | त्र is one key: = |
| कार्यालय आदेश | dk;kZy; vkns’k | The र् on top (reph) becomes Z after य |

Not sure what you have? Paste one word into Google search or a WhatsApp chat.
- It shows proper Hindi: your text is Unicode (Mangal). Use this page.
- It turns into letters like Hkkjr: your text is already Kruti Dev. Use our Kruti Dev to Mangal converter instead.
You do not even need to check manually. If you paste Kruti Dev text into the box above, the tool notices and offers a one tap switch.
When Do You Actually Need Kruti Dev Instead of Mangal?
Mangal is the better choice for almost everything today. Still, a few jobs genuinely need Kruti Dev 010:
- Typing test practice: some state typing tests use Kruti Dev 010 with the Remington Gail layout. Font rules change between notifications, so check your official notice first.
- Printing presses and DTP: many presses still set Hindi in PageMaker or CorelDRAW with Kruti Dev.
- Old Kruti Dev documents: when you add new paragraphs to an old Kruti Dev file, converting keeps the whole file in one font.
- Office templates: some offices still keep forms and letter formats in Kruti Dev.
On the other hand, if your text will go on a website, in an email or on WhatsApp, keep it in Mangal. Kruti Dev only displays correctly on computers that have the font installed.
