The ASCII Font Ecosystem
Preeti is not the only legacy typeface used in Nepal. Designers also use Kantipur, Himalb, Sagarmatha, and PCS Nepali. Fortunately, these fonts share the exact same character map layout as Preeti.
Converting Alternate Fonts
You can use our online Preeti to Unicode Converter to translate text written in any of these legacy typefaces. Simply paste the text into the input box, and the engine will instantly output standard web-safe Devanagari Unicode.
