Why Convert Preeti Font to Unicode?

Preeti is a legacy font for typing Nepali. While widely used in newsrooms and printing houses across Nepal, it is not web-ready. Text typed in Preeti font looks like gibberish (example: xfd|f]) on devices that don't have the font installed.

Unicode Devanagari, on the other hand, is the global standard. Converting your Preeti text to Unicode ensures your content is readable on all mobile devices, tablets, and computers, making it perfect for Facebook, websites, and emails.
