Hello,
I am not able to create the special characters even using combination of ALT key and 0210. I also installed the fonts.
But not able to create these. I have tried using Firefox and IE.
When I press the keys, it doesn’t even type anything.
Am I missing any steps?
Thanks,
Nikhil
Hi Nikhil you have to type some keys and then just press backspace! that will create special characters. Follow this and do let me know.
Hello! I have been using Kiran font since a few years and find it nice to operate. I wish to publish one of my work, which I typed in Kiran. However, my publisher has not been able to convert the file into any other common Devnagari font, generally used for publication of books in Marathi. Is it not possible to convert it? I came to know that Shivaji Font is convertible to Devnagari font like SHREE.
Pl. write.

Hi megha! Try out this help from official kiran font! But its to convert unicode to kiran font.
Kiran font conversion
and i think you have to type your entire contents in other publishers font. Because Kiran font is True Type font and its not Unicode font as mentioned in Kiran font official website.
Thank you!
Thanks.
