Questions about Hindi text
Does changing the font convert my text?
No. Legacy text needs its encoding converted to Unicode. Changing its display font leaves the stored characters unchanged.
What if I don’t know the original font?
Check the font box in the original document, or try the font detector with a full sentence. Compare its previews before choosing a converter.
