Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between DevLys and Krutidev?
DevLys and Krutidev share 95%+ of the same character mapping. Both use the Remington typewriter layout. The differences are minor: DevLys has a few extra character codes for less common ligatures and slightly different handling of some vowel combinations. Text typed in DevLys can be converted using the Krutidev converter with near-perfect accuracy.
Can I use the Krutidev converter for DevLys text?
In most cases, yes. The Krutidev to Unicode converter produces correct output for 95-98% of DevLys text. For the remaining edge cases (specific vowel ligature differences), a dedicated DevLys converter is available on our converter hub.
Where is DevLys font commonly required for document work?
DevLys is primarily required in state government departments across Rajasthan, Bihar, and parts of Uttar Pradesh. The font was developed by C-DAC as part of the GIST package and distributed to government offices in the early 2000s. If you receive a document that looks like garbled characters and the sender mentions DevLys, install this font to read it. For converting DevLys text to Unicode, use our DevLys to Unicode converter.
Is DevLys the same as DevLys 010?
DevLys 010 is the standard variant, similar to how Krutidev 010 is the standard Krutidev variant. The "010" indicates the regular weight. Other variants (DevLys 020, DevLys 030) have different stroke weights or styles but share the same encoding table. For government typing work, DevLys 010 is what you need.
