All Legacy Fonts

Shree Lipi (SL) is the gold standard for regional Indian language DTP typography, developed by Modular Infotech Pvt. Ltd. Pune. Widely deployed across Maharashtra, Gujarat, and other states for print workflows in CorelDRAW, PageMaker, and Photoshop, this family contains legacy Devanagari fonts such as Shree Dev 0714, Shree Dev 0708, and Shree Dev 0709. Because these fonts store Devanagari characters using ASCII mappings rather than universal Unicode ranges, converting Unicode text to Shree Lipi format is a mandatory pre-typesetting step to prevent text corruption and rendering errors. Download the complete Shree Lipi font ZIP package to install high-quality Marathi, Hindi, and Gujarati fonts for professional print composing.

Kruti Dev is the most popular legacy non-Unicode Hindi font family utilized in government offices, typing exams (like SSC, CPCT, High Court), and traditional printing press environments. Originally designed based on the Remington typewriters layout, Kruti Dev fonts (such as Kruti Dev 010 and 016) map Devanagari glyphs to standard Latin ASCII positions. As a result, direct copying and pasting of modern Unicode text (like Mangal or Arial Unicode) into Kruti Dev layouts creates unreadable characters. Designers rely on Unicode to Kruti Dev converters to bridge this encoding gap. Download the Kruti Dev ZIP bundle to get all weights and styles of this essential Hindi typing font.

DevLys is a highly popular legacy Devanagari font family used extensively for Hindi DTP layouts, newspaper styling, and book typesetting across northern India. Mirroring the Remington typewriter keyboard layout similar to Kruti Dev, DevLys fonts (particularly DevLys 010) are prized by operators for their smooth rendering and clean typographic form in older composing tools like PageMaker and CorelDRAW. Because DevLys uses custom ASCII character tables rather than the standardized Unicode Devanagari block (U+0900 to U+097F), text conversion remains necessary for modern workflows. Download the DevLys ZIP archive to access the complete collection of these classic Hindi publishing fonts.

Chanakya is a premium legacy Devanagari font designed specifically for high-end book design, literary magazines, and newspaper editorial layouts in Hindi and Sanskrit. Famous for its beautiful calligraphic strokes and elegant typography, Chanakya is a non-Unicode legacy font. It maps custom character shapes to ASCII positions, necessitating specialized Unicode-to-Chanakya text converters for digital publishing. Since modern systems utilize standard Unicode, this font requires encoding conversion before pasting into PageMaker or CorelDRAW layouts. Download the Chanakya TTF file to install this elegant Devanagari typeface on your Windows system.

AMS (Akshar Mala System) fonts, developed by IndiaFont, represent the premium standard for calligraphy in Hindi, Marathi, and Gujarati typography. Widely used for wedding invitation cards, event banners, festival posters, and high-impact headlines, AMS fonts like AMS Prashant, AMS Shriman, and AMS Calligraphy offer decorative shirorekha extensions and multiple stylistic variations for Devanagari letters. Since AMS uses custom ASCII tables for its artistic glyphs, standard Unicode text turns to gibberish when applied directly. Utilizing a Unicode to AMS converter ensures characters, matras, and conjuncts form correctly in CorelDRAW. Download the AMS font ZIP archive to elevate your graphic designs.

Tamil Shree Lipi fonts are legacy bilingual typefaces developed by Modular Infotech to support traditional Tamil typesetting in PageMaker and CorelDRAW design environments. Used extensively across printing houses in Tamil Nadu for publishing magazines, textbooks, and cards, these non-Unicode fonts map Tamil characters to custom ASCII indexes. Direct paste of Unicode Tamil text into layouts using Tamil Shree fonts leads to rendering issues, requiring specialized conversion tools. Download the Tamil Shree Lipi ZIP package to get all weights of these classic Tamil printing fonts.

Mangal is the default Unicode Devanagari font designed by Raghunath Joshi for Microsoft and is pre-installed on all modern Windows operating systems. It is the mandatory font layout for Hindi government typing tests (such as CPCT, SSC, CISF, and High Court exams) using Remington Gail or InScript keyboard layouts. Unlike legacy ASCII fonts like Kruti Dev or Shree Lipi, Mangal is fully Unicode-compliant, meaning its text is searchable online, readable on mobile devices, and compatible with web platforms without any font installation. Download the Mangal TTF file to restore or update your system's default Hindi Unicode font settings.
