The original document had a Hindi Font 'Shusha' which is not on my iMac. How do I get 'Devnagri' to work with MSword? You do not need to download any fonts -- there is only one that works and it is already on your.

Brandis is right May 10, 2005 It would be best to ask your client to send you the font. However, if the font used is a unicode font, then you can try any complete unicode font like Arial Unicode MS.

The default Hindi fonts in the WindowsXP is Mangal and also Kokila in the newer version of the operating system. If you adjust the Regional Settings of your Windows XP to include Hindi, the Mangal font will be automatically installed. It will also give you keyboard support in Hindi. However, if it is a non-unicode font, then this won't work, for each no-unicode font has its own code-page.

If it is one of the commoner fonts like Shusha or DV-ttsurekh, converters are available to convert text in these fonts to Unicode and vice versa. You can check out this website for more info: But why get into all this hassle, it would be simpler to get the font sent to you by your client.

Which font has been used? May 10, 2005 There are numerous fonts for Hindi and you should install the same font in your system which has been used to type the text, otherwise it might not appear properly.

Therefore, you should know the name of exact font which has been used in your document. Simply click on the text and the name of font will appear in font column. You may then download the same from different websites on internet, if available. Or you may communicate the name of font to me and I'd send you the same in case I have got the same. RTF or Unicode?

That makes the issue complicated. It is correct that there are various fonts in Hindi but dialects and sub dialects cannot change the fonts First you should know from the sender whether the document is written in Unicode or in RTF (Rich Text Format). If it is written in Unicode then it is quite easy to download various fonts from internet.Mangal and Raghu are the most common fonts in Unicode.

But if the font is of RTF,then the matter will be little complicated and the sender can help you by supplying the exact font. Because numeraous hindi RTF fonts exists. If you can get the name of font,please inform us. Perhaps we can help someway. As I use Kruti Dev 010.

That makes the issue complicated. -From the words of a Prozian. Dear Asker, I normally use Kruti Dev 010 font and for the convenience of the outsourcer, I always send the font alongwith job, without even being demanded! It helps him/her normally! Btw, there are number of fonts in devanagri script, which can be used for Hindi language on computers!
