Mangal may already be on your system

Mangal comes pre-installed with most Windows versions. Check your font list first - if it is already there, no download is needed. If it is missing, use the download button above or follow the repair steps below.

Check if Mangal is Installed

The quickest way to check: open Notepad or Word, click the font dropdown, and type "Mangal." If it appears in the list, you are set. Alternatively:

  1. Open Windows Settings (Win+I)
  2. Go to Personalization > Fonts
  3. Search for "Mangal" in the search box
  4. If it shows up, the font is installed and working

On Windows 10 and 11, Mangal should be present by default. If it is missing, it was likely removed during a system cleanup or a third-party optimization tool deleted it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Mangal a Unicode font?
Yes. Mangal is a Unicode Devanagari font. Unlike Krutidev or Chanakya, text typed in Mangal stores actual Unicode code points. This means Mangal text is readable on any device and any operating system without installing the font. You can share Mangal-typed text via WhatsApp, email, or web without conversion.
Do I need to download Mangal font?
Usually no. Mangal comes pre-installed on Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11. It is a system font that Microsoft bundles with every Windows installation. Check if it is already installed by opening any text editor, going to the font dropdown, and searching for "Mangal." If it is missing, it may have been accidentally deleted and can be restored through Windows Settings.
Which keyboard layout does Mangal use?
Mangal supports two keyboard layouts: Remington GAIL and InScript. Remington GAIL is similar to the Krutidev Remington layout but works with Unicode. InScript is the government-standard Unicode Hindi layout. Most CPCT exams offer both options. Check your Mangal keyboard layout page for details.
Mangal font not showing in Word - how to fix?
Open Windows Settings, go to Apps, then Optional Features. Search for "Hindi Supplemental Fonts" and install it. Alternatively, open Settings > Time & Language > Language & Region, click "Add a language," and add Hindi. This reinstalls all Hindi system fonts including Mangal. Restart Word after installation.
Is Mangal better than Krutidev?
Mangal is technically superior because it uses Unicode - text is portable, searchable, and works everywhere without font installation. But "better" depends on context. If your office uses Krutidev and all legacy documents are in Krutidev, switching to Mangal means converting everything. For new work, Unicode (Mangal or Nirmala UI) is the better choice. For exam preparation, practice whichever font your specific exam requires.
