How to Paste Kruti Dev Text Into Word
You need the Kruti Dev 010 font installed on your own computer.

- In Word, paste with Paste Special or Keep Text Only, so the page's own font is not carried over.

Limits of Unicode to Kruti Dev
Kruti Dev 010 has fewer characters than Unicode.
- English letters cannot be written in Kruti Dev: the font draws Hindi in their place. Keep English words in a separate run of text with an English font. The converter tells you which characters it left unchanged.
- Symbols such as % and * have no Kruti Dev 010 glyph and are left as they are; straight quotes become curly quotes, which the font has.
- A colon is written with the visarga glyph, the only similar mark in the font.
- Rare conjuncts with no Kruti Dev glyph are written as half letter plus letter, which draws the same word.
- DevLys 010 shares most positions with Kruti Dev 010, but RSSB says some keys differ; check signs your notice mentions.
