- Devlys 040: Alternate variant for legal typing

⚠️ Typing Test Alert
If you're preparing for SSC Stenographer or court typing tests, practice typing directly in Devlys font. Conversion tools won't help during the actual exam!
Common Conversion Issues
Problem 1: Text appears as "??????" or boxes
Cause: The Devlys font is not installed on your system.
Solution: Download and install the font first.
Problem 2: Text is gibberish like "æ?±??"
Cause: The source wasn't true Unicode. It was Kruti Dev disguised as Unicode.
Solution: First convert Kruti Dev → Unicode, then Unicode → Devlys.
Problem 3: Some characters are missing
Cause: Unicode has more characters than Devlys supports.
Solution: Manually type those characters in Devlys or use a similar character.

✅ Pro Tip
For documents, always keep a Unicode (Mangal) backup. Devlys files won't open correctly on modern Android/iOS devices.
