Would you like help converting an old PageMaker file using M.L. Revathi to a modern Unicode format?

While ML Revathi is highly efficient for existing PageMaker workflows, it is important to note that legacy fonts are not web-friendly. Text typed in ML Revathi cannot be searched on Google or read on mobile devices without converting it to Unicode (such as the AnjaliOldLipi or Meera fonts).

Turn on "Smooth Edges" in PageMaker display settings. | | Can't type Malayalam (English letters appear) | You need a legacy keyboard mapper (e.g., Mozhi or Kartika ). PageMaker does not support modern InScript keyboards. You must type using the old "ML" phonetic layout. | | File sharing: Text scrambles on another PC | Both PCs must have the exact same ML Revathi font file installed.
