01 · About the font

Shree-Dev 0714, in plain words.

Shree-Dev 0714 is a legacy Devanagari font that stores text as ordinary English letters and draws the real letters with the font itself.

Shree-Dev 0714 is a legacy (non-Unicode) font. Instead of storing real Devanagari characters, it draws Devanagari shapes on top of English keys, so a document typed in it looks like random Latin letters on any device that doesn’t have the font installed.

Converting to Unicode stores the real characters, which every phone, browser and search engine understands. This converter’s mapping is based on a published open-source table; the Sources list at the end of this page names it and its licence, and the chart below lists every mapping the converter uses.

    Files typed in Shree-Dev 0714 show as Latin letters on any device without the font. Converting them makes the text readable, searchable and editable anywhere.

02 · How to

How to convert Unicode to Shree-Dev 0714 (4 steps)

Some printers, layout programs and typing-test environments still need text in Shree-Dev 0714. This converter writes the exact keystrokes the font expects and lists any characters the font cannot show, so nothing is lost without you knowing.

  1. Paste your Unicode Marathi

    Check that “To” says Shree-Dev 0714, then paste Unicode Marathi such as “मराठी भाषा” from Word, Google Docs or WhatsApp.

  2. Read the Shree-Dev 0714 keystrokes

    The output is the keystrokes Shree-Dev 0714 expects: “åmamRr ämmîmm”. It looks like English letters until the Shree-Dev 0714 font is applied. Characters the font can’t show are flagged under “notes”; this sample has none.

  3. Copy it into a Shree-Dev 0714 document

    After you copy “åmamRr ämmîmm”, the converter reminds you to paste it into a document set in Shree-Dev 0714. The text shows as Marathi only where that font is installed.

  4. Or save a Word file

    The Word button saves a .docx already set in Shree-Dev 0714. Install Shree-Dev 0714 on the computer that opens it, or “åmamRr ämmîmm” will show as English letters.
    Notice after the Word download: “Saved in Shree-Dev 0714. Install Shree-Dev 0714 on the computer that opens it, or the text will show as English letters.”

What to look for in the output

  • मिळ{åmi

    ळ is a single key in Shree-Dev 0714, and the short-i matra ि is placed in front of the consonant it belongs to.

  • ऱ्याèæmm

    The Marathi ऱ्य sequence (eyelash ra + ya) has its own glyph, followed by the aa matra.

  • र्जO©

    The reph moves to the other side of the syllable, as in Kruti Dev, but with this font’s own glyph.

04 · Loss report

Characters Shree-Dev 0714 can’t show.

We ran this converter over every assigned character of the Devanagari block (U+0900–097F), 128 in all, one at a time. Marks that need a base letter were tested on क. 86 of them convert and decode back to the same character (67%); the other 42 have no glyph in Shree-Dev 0714. The engine keeps them as Unicode in the output and flags them, so you can fix the source text before it goes to print. Not tested: Devanagari Extended (U+A8E0–A8FF) and Vedic Extensions (U+1CD0–1CFF).

05 · Print & DTP

Using the output in Word, CorelDRAW and PageMaker.

The converted text is ordinary Latin characters. It only looks like Devanagari once Shree-Dev 0714 is applied, so the same font must be installed wherever the file is opened or printed. These are general steps: menu names may differ by version.

Microsoft Word

  1. 1In Word’s font box, Shree-Dev 0714 may be listed as “shree dev 0714” or “shree dev 714”. Pick the name your installed copy shows.
  2. 2Turn off spell-check for the pasted text (Review → Language → Set Proofing Language → Do not check spelling or grammar). Word sees Latin letters and underlines everything.
  3. 3If you edit the text by typing, also turn off AutoCorrect’s “smart quotes”: legacy fonts use the straight ' and " keys for letters, and curly quotes are different characters.
  4. 4Before you send a PDF, check that it really contains the font: open it on a computer without Shree-Dev 0714, or look under File → Properties → Fonts in Acrobat Reader.

Menu names and the PDF options may differ by Word version and platform.

CorelDRAW

  1. 1Choose the Text tool and set the font to Shree-Dev 0714 before you paste, or select the pasted text afterwards and change it.
  2. 2If CorelDRAW offers to keep or discard the source fonts and formatting when you paste text, choose the option that applies the font you picked rather than the one from the clipboard.
  3. 3Use the font box on the property bar to confirm the text really is in Shree-Dev 0714; legacy text in a Unicode font looks like random Latin letters.
  4. 4Before sending the file to a printer, convert text to curves or embed fonts, depending on what the printer asks for.

Dialog wording and the way fonts are embedded may differ by CorelDRAW version.

Adobe PageMaker

  1. 1Select the Text tool, click into a text block and choose Shree-Dev 0714 from the Type → Font menu.
  2. 2Paste the converted text as plain text so the legacy characters are not restyled by the clipboard.
  3. 3Send the printer the publication together with the font file, or ask them to install the same font version; a different version of the same-named font can place a few characters differently.

PageMaker is no longer sold or updated by Adobe, so check which version your printer still uses. Menu names may differ by version.

06 · Exams & submissions

Before you submit or print.

Requirements for fonts, keyboard layouts and file types are set by each exam body, office or press and change over time. We do not list them; a short checklist that applies to any of them:

  1. Check the official notice first

    Whether an exam, office or tender asks for Shree-Dev 0714, for Unicode, or for a particular keyboard layout differs by recruiting body and year. Read the current official notice for the font name, the layout and the file format before you convert anything.

  2. Convert, then compare against the original

    Convert the Unicode source to Shree-Dev 0714, paste it into the document with Shree-Dev 0714 selected, and read it against the original on screen. Anything the loss report flags is not in the font; fix it in the source rather than hoping it prints.

  3. Keep the Unicode source

    Keep your Unicode original. If a notice changes, a reviewer needs searchable text, or the legacy file is damaged, you can convert again; a Shree-Dev 0714 file cannot be searched or read on a phone without Shree-Dev 0714.

  4. Test the printed or exported copy

    Open the exported PDF or print a page before the deadline. If the notice requires a file type, convert and test on the same type of device the recipient will use.

07 · Output font

Set the output font to Shree-Dev 0714 in MS Word

The converted text is Shree-Dev 0714 keystrokes, so it only looks like Marathi when the Shree-Dev 0714 font is applied. It has to be installed on the computer that opens the file.

Microsoft Word

  1. 1Install Shree-Dev 0714 if you haven’t already (on Windows, right-click the font file → Install for all users; on Mac, use Font Book), then restart Word.
  2. 2Paste the converted text. Use Paste Special → Unformatted Text (Ctrl+Alt+V) so no formatting from the source comes along.
  3. 3Select the text and type “Shree-Dev 0714” into the font box on the Home tab.
  4. 4Before sending the file to someone else, either embed fonts (File → Options → Save → Embed fonts) or export to PDF.

Google Docs

  1. 1Google Docs offers its own font list only, so Shree-Dev 0714 cannot be selected there.
  2. 2Use Word or LibreOffice for the final file, then share a PDF if others need to read it.
  3. 3If the text must live in Google Docs, keep it as Unicode and convert only the final copy.

Pasting Shree-Dev 0714 text into Google Docs shows English letters instead of Marathi.

What to watch for.

  • Legacy fonts store letters in the order they are drawn, not the order they are read. The converter reorders vowel signs and conjuncts, but check the result against the original if accuracy matters.

Checked against Padma, the open-source converter this mapping was taken from: 236 of 240 test conversions matched exactly. Of the 4 differences, 2 were errors in that converter and 2 were equivalent spellings. Because the mapping comes from that project, this checks how faithfully it was carried over, not whether the original table is right. Round trip: we converted 50,757 Devanagari test strings (word-list words, sentences, and every consonant, vowel sign, conjunct, reph and nukta combination) to Shree-Dev 0714 and back. 50,756 came back exactly; the other one contains a character Shree-Dev 0714 has no glyph for, which the converter flags. See the accuracy page for every difference.

Questions about Unicode to Shree-Dev 0714

Is my Marathi text uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs in your browser, and nothing you paste is sent anywhere.

Can I turn Shree-Dev 0714 text back into Unicode later?

Yes. Paste it into the Shree-Dev 0714 to Unicode converter, or press the swap button above. Characters the loss report flagged were kept as Unicode, so they come back unchanged.

How accurate is the Shree-Dev 0714 converter?

It was checked against the converter its mapping came from: 236 of 240 test conversions matched Padma exactly. Each of the other 4 was reviewed, and 2 turned out to be errors in that converter. No independent converter has confirmed the table itself yet. The sample on this page converts exactly as expected. No fluent-speaker review has been done, so read important text before you print or submit it.

Which characters can’t Shree-Dev 0714 show?

42 of the 128 assigned characters in the Unicode Devanagari block (U+0900–097F) have no Shree-Dev 0714 glyph; the other 86 convert and read back unchanged. Characters it can’t show are kept as Unicode in the output and flagged, and the full list is on this page. Not tested: Devanagari Extended (U+A8E0–A8FF) and Vedic Extensions (U+1CD0–1CFF).
