Mangal to Preeti Converter
Mangal is a Unicode font. Paste your Mangal (Unicode) Nepali text and get Preeti text you can use with the Preeti font in Word, PageMaker or InDesign.
The output looks like English letters (for example नेपाल becomes g]kfn). That is correct: it only turns into Nepali after you set the font of the pasted text to Preeti. Download the Preeti font if it is not installed.

Mangal, Unicode and Preeti: what is the difference?
Mangal is the default Nepali font in Windows. It is a Unicode font, so text typed in Mangal can be searched, copied between apps and shown on websites.
Preeti is a legacy font. It stores Nepali as ordinary English keystrokes and only looks Nepali because the font draws different shapes for those keys. Many printing presses, government offices and older designs still require Preeti. This tool bridges the two.
