Language and Keyboard Settings in Summit Indica for Chanakya Font


Though English is a universal language but lot of work is done in regional or country language. When talk about advertising and designing sector many languages are used other than English. Hindi is one of them. To type Hindi in computer Hindi Script Font is used in which Kruti dev is most famous. But here I am talking about 2nd used font in Hindi typing Chanakya.  
Chanakya is also a Hindi Script Font as Kruti Dev, Walkman Chanakya, etc. But this font is not available for free. If you wish to use it you would need to buy it.  For this, you need to install Summit Indica Software. After installing Summit Indica Software, you can work with Chanakya font in any DTP(Desktop Publishing) software like, Pagemaker, Corel, InDesign, Quark Express, etc..

After finishing installation of this software you cannot directly start working with Chanakya.  You need to change some settings otherwise you can face  problems while typing.
First of all you change the Language to Devnagari. Then the style of Keyboard to Remington

In this software package you will get 19+ different font styles for Hindi Language to stylize your typography designs. You can also use it for other Indian languages like, Gujarati, Malayalam, Punjabi, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu and Bengali & Oriya too.

For Hindi you get below listed, different font styles:
Ajanta, Aajtak, Alankar, Bharat, Damodar, Dastak, Daisai, Manohar, Madhur, Mdhur, Megha, Nadhra, Shankar, Sulekha, Sridhar, Urvasi, Vishal, Valmiki.

Chanakya Keyboard Layout:Chanakya Keyboard layout is similar to Kruti Dev 010 Layout. Below shown layout is the Kruti Dev 010 Layout and if you know typing with Kruti Dev, then you can easily type with Chanakya. Only few keys are not similar, otherwise it’s all the same like Kruti Dev.

Download below given image and practice with Chanakya Font or Kruti Dev, if you want to learn Hindi typing. It works same with Windows XP, 7 and others too. But if you want to work with Macintosh then you need to know some special things I will describe soon.


Hindi Keyboard: Kruti Dev 10


How can you use this image to learn Hindi typing:
>>> Download the image and open MS Word, change the font and start typing with the help of keyboard.
>>> If you do not find any alphabet on the keyboard just go to Character Map. There you can find each and every character of Hindi Script.
>>> To find Character Map go to Start->Search->Character Map.
>>> If you are typing in any software like MS Office or CorelDraw which have Autocorrect Option. Please disable it.
>>> If you are typing on your laptop then use Function Key (Fn) for short-keys. It will help you to type with speed.

Having any problem using this Keyboard or want to know more about Summit Indica Software then write your query in comment option and I will create tutorial especially for you.
Thanks for your time.
