I have a desktop application in java that converts from literal hindi text to corresponding english translitration. I am using jTextArea in desktop application. Now I want to make a web application for doing the same. My end goal is to have two text areas in html in one of which I can type hindi characters and in other one would show translitration result in english characters at the same time. For Hindi I want to use kruti dev font and Times new roman for english.

  • That's nice. have a look at http://www.bing.com/translator/Default.aspx – Scary Wombat Oct 21 '14 at 05:40
  • Why do you want to create a new one, when there are many with such facilities? ;) you can use `aksharamukha` tool. If you still want to create on your own, you can write a simple code on JavaScript or jquery and fetch text from one textbox and replace each character by roman or Devanagari text and paste the text in another box. Simple! – SibiCoder Sep 23 '16 at 07:45

Take a look at Cufon: http://cufon.shoqolate.com/generate/

Keep in mind any license issues regarding font usage before making use of a font.

If you want a safe approach, try and find a font you're happy with here: https://www.google.com/fonts

I found a simple solution.

instead of setting

input.value = "Hindi Text";

which shows up as utf-8 notations in textarea, do -

input.innerHTML = "Hindi Text";

It works for me
