ISM software developed by CDAC is heavily used in Maharashtra for printing and publishing Marathi texts. It utilizes legacy Devanagari fonts such as DV-TTYogesh, DV-TTSurekh, DVB-TTYogesh, and DVBW-TTYogesh. Use our ISM to Unicode Converter page to instantly translate legacy texts to Marathi Unicode Mangal font.
For backwards compatibility, we offer tools like ISM to Unicode Converter and Unicode to ISM Converter to switch formats effortlessly. We suggest cross-linking with other Marathi font options such as Shree Lipi (Marathi) for additional conversions.
Devanagari print typography historically relied on ISM fonts because they offered excellent print layout support. However, when posting this content online, it results in unreadable gibberish unless converted to Unicode. This utility solves this exact issue by parsing each CDAC character mapping and translating it to the globally accepted UTF-8 standard.
You can use these tools to easily convert newsletters, government forms, and Marathi literature. The tools run in real-time, meaning that as you paste or type, the output updates instantly without any lag, providing a high-productivity workspace for data entry and translation operators.
