Which Gujarati fonts we convert — and which we refuse
An honest list. Every font we can convert, every font we recognise but will not guess at, and the reason we draw the line where we do.
Most converters publish a long list of supported fonts and say nothing about how well any of them work. This is the opposite: a shorter list, and what is not on it.
The live version of this list is on the converter itself, generated from the software rather than written by hand, so it cannot fall out of date.
1The rule we apply
A font is only marked as converting when its encoding table has been derived from evidence — either a document that embeds the font, or a rendering of the font itself that we have read and checked.
A wrong table entry is worse than no table at all. It does not throw an error and it does not look broken. It produces Gujarati that reads fluently and says something different from the original, in a document going to a court.
So a font we have not verified is listed as unsupported, even where we could make a confident guess.
2Recognised but not converted
Some fonts we ship render correctly in our document viewer — you can read your file on screen — but are not converted, because their encoding has not been established.
These are not failures so much as work not yet done. Each one is a short job once we have the font file.
3Fonts that are not Gujarati at all
A few faces in circulation carry Gujarati-sounding names and draw Devanagari. They are excluded deliberately, and not counted as gaps in our Gujarati coverage.
Converting one of those with a Gujarati table would not fail. It would silently change the language of the document.
4Getting your font added
Send us the .ttf file. We render its own bytes, read what it draws, and build the table from that — the same method used for every font already supported.
We cannot add a font we do not have. These are commercial typist fonts and no public source carries them, so the font file has to come from someone who owns it.
Paste a paragraph into the free converter — it runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded. For a whole file, with its tables and formatting intact, use the full converter.
