This utility can be used to convert data between various formats as follows:

ISFOC Convert

  • For data conversion between all ISFOC font types.

Custom Convert

  • For data conversion from a third party format to ISFOC format.

More Convert

  • For data conversion between the following formats:
  • Tamil 99 or KGP font formats to ISFOC format.
  • ISFOC format to Tamil 99 format.
  • Old Bilingual Web to New Bilingual Web font format.

NOTE ▬ Conversion is done word by word. Thus a word with multiple font types is not a valid candidate for conversion.

Conversion of Tables:

In normal case the converter converts the text in paragraph as well as in tables. When you want to carry out conversion on a single table in the whole document place the cursor in that table and start the conversion. When you want to convert more than one table placed one after another in a document start selecting tables just before the first table you want to convert. All successive tables get selected. Then start the conversion. You cannot convert half of a table.

Conversion will not take place in following cases:

  • English data in Bilingual/Bilingual Web to Monolingual/Monolingual Web.
  • Text in fonts such as Arial, Times New Roman are skipped during conversion.

DO NOT MANIPULATE IN BETWEEN WHEN THE CONVERSION IS GOING ON. IF YOU WANT TO STOP THE CONVERSION CLICK THE ‘Exit’ BUTTON.
