Mangal is a Unicode-based Devanagari font developed by Microsoft, bundled with every copy of Windows. It is the officially mandated font for Hindi government documents, court filings, and official communications in India. Courts — including the Supreme Court and all High Courts — require documents in Mangal font.
KrutiDev remains the dominant font in older law offices, typing institutes, and legacy software. This creates a constant need to convert existing KrutiDev documents to Mangal before submission to courts or digital government portals.

Mangal is a Unicode font — it uses Unicode encoding but has a specific visual typeface. All Mangal text is valid Unicode Devanagari, but Unicode can be rendered in many fonts (like Kokila, Aparajita, etc.). Courts specifically require the Mangal typeface, not just any Unicode font.
Supreme Court and most High Courts require Mangal font at 16pt for Hindi text in petitions and pleadings. Always verify the specific court's rules as they may differ slightly.
Mangal and KrutiDev render the same Hindi characters but have different visual styles (typefaces). The text content is identical — only the visual appearance differs. Mangal uses Unicode rendering with proper OpenType ligatures, which may look slightly different than KrutiDev's older rendering.
