Kruti Dev and DevLys use the same keys
DevLys 010 was drawn on the same keyboard layout as Kruti Dev 010. We compared the two font files letter by letter, and every key that ordinary Hindi uses draws the same letter in both. So Hkkjr reads भारत in either font, and most text leaves this page exactly as it came in.
That is the honest answer to "how do I convert Kruti Dev to DevLys". In most documents you only need to select the text in Word and change the font to DevLys 010. This page is for when you want to be sure before you send the file, or need the code to paste into another program.
What the page still does for you
- Shows it in DevLys. Press Preview (Hindi) to see the text drawn in DevLys 010 before it goes anywhere. Anything that was not Kruti Dev code to begin with shows up wrong there, where you can spot it.
- Changes nothing it does not have to. Every key is kept exactly as it was, including which way each quote mark faces, so the DevLys file reads the same as the Kruti Dev one.
- Hands you the code. Copy it, share it or download it as a .docx with DevLys 010 already applied.
Going the other way? Use DevLys to Kruti Dev. If a website or portal wants Unicode instead, use Kruti Dev to Unicode.
