Converting Kantipur, Sagarmatha, and PCS Nepali Fonts

Legacy Nepali desktop publishing was not limited to the Preeti font. Many publications preferred fonts like **Kantipur** (popular in newspapers) or **Sagarmatha** (popular in literature). These fonts were mapped to the standard keyboard layout using the exact same ASCII mappings as Preeti.

Therefore, you can use our Preeti-to-Unicode tool to convert any of these legacy fonts. The output will compile into perfect Devanagari Unicode, ready to be indexed by Google and read on any mobile or web screen.
