Best way to convert legacy Kruti Dev Hindi text to Unicode for TouchGFX?

Hi everyone,

I'm working with some older Hindi content that was created using the Kruti Dev legacy font/encoding, and I need to use the text in a modern Unicode-based environment such as TouchGFX.

From what I understand, simply changing the font isn't enough because Kruti Dev and Unicode use different character mappings. The legacy text needs to be converted to Unicode first, and then the appropriate Devanagari font can be used.

For anyone dealing with the same issue, I found this Unicode to Kruti Dev Converter useful for converting between Unicode Hindi and Kruti Dev text.

Has anyone here used a similar workflow with TouchGFX? Are there any additional issues I should watch for with Devanagari glyphs, character rendering, or font generation?

Thanks!
