The Complete Guide to the Best Unicode to non Unicode Converter

This page converts Telugu Unicode text into the legacy Gowthami Bold font layout, the format required by PageMaker, InDesign and other DTP software that cannot read Unicode directly. Paste your Telugu text above and copy the converted output straight into your layout. Everything below applies to the font selected on this page. Pick your exact font before converting — each legacy face has its own mapping, and the same text converted for a different weight will not render correctly.

About the Gowthami Bold font

This page is dedicated to Gowthami Bold, an Anu 7.0 (Anu Script) typeface used for newspaper body text and book and magazine typesetting in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

Because the conversion runs in the browser, nothing you paste leaves the machine. That matters for newspaper body text and book and magazine typesetting, where drafts are often confidential until publication.

Gowthami weights and variants

The converter ships 6 faces of the Gowthami family: Gowthami Bold, Gowthami Black, Gowthami Extra Bold, Gowthami Medium, Gowthami Narrow and Gowthami Thin. Each face has its own mapping, so converting for Gowthami Bold will not produce correct glyphs if you then apply Gowthami Black in your layout — pick the face first, then convert.

Gowthami Bold is the Bold cut. Bold and heavier cuts are normally reserved for headlines, captions and pull quotes; body copy set in them tends to close up at small point sizes. Switch faces by selecting a different font in your DTP application — the converted text itself is identical in length.

How Telugu maps into Anu 7.0 (Anu Script)

Telugu legacy fonts stack consonant clusters and place the Ra vatthu (ra) to the right of the base letter, a layout Unicode stores in a different order than ASCII fonts expect.

Gowthami Bold is not a RAA font, so the Ra vatthu is drawn in its normal position. Leave the Alt Raa Vatthu option off when converting for this face; enabling it shifts Ra clusters to the right and breaks the output.

Character coverage is handled by the same engine used across the site: unmapped characters are reported rather than silently dropped, so you can see exactly which part of a manuscript needs manual attention before it reaches the press.

Using Gowthami Bold in Adobe PageMaker 7.0

Open the layout in Adobe PageMaker 7.0 and place a text frame. Convert the Telugu text above, then paste with the plain-text paste command — not paste-special, which can re-import Unicode formatting and undo the conversion.

With the text selected, apply Gowthami Bold from the font menu. Telugu clusters should form immediately; if a conjunct still looks wrong, check that the character was not typed with a different Unicode normalisation before conversion.

Getting Telugu text out of a PDF or photo

If the Telugu copy is already inside a PDF, a Word file or a photo, you do not need to retype it. The File to Text button reads PDF, DOCX, ODT, PPTX, XLSX, TXT and images, then puts the extracted Telugu text in the Unicode box above.

Scanned pages can be read with on-device text recognition in Telugu. Recognition and conversion both run in the browser, so the document is not uploaded. After extraction, choose Gowthami Bold and convert as usual.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is Gowthami Bold the same as Anu 7.0 (Anu Script)?

Gowthami Bold is one face within the Anu 7.0 (Anu Script) family. Anu 7.0 (Anu Script) is the encoding scheme — the rule set that decides which ASCII byte draws which Telugu glyph. Gowthami Bold is a specific typeface built to that scheme. Text converted for Anu 7.0 (Anu Script) renders correctly in any font that follows it, but the letterforms differ between faces.

Can I convert once and use any Gowthami weight?

No. The converted text is the same length regardless of weight, but each face has its own glyph mapping, so text converted for Gowthami Bold will not render correctly if you apply Gowthami Black. Convert again with the weight you intend to use, or convert separately for each edition.

Why does my Telugu text look like random English letters after converting?

That is expected before the font is applied. Anu 7.0 (Anu Script) stores Telugu glyphs as ASCII bytes, so the converted text reads as Latin characters in any application that has not loaded Gowthami Bold. Apply the font in your layout software and the correct letterforms appear.

Should I enable Alt Raa Vatthu for Gowthami Bold?

No. Gowthami Bold is not a RAA font and draws the Ra vatthu in its normal position. Enabling Alt Raa Vatthu shifts Ra clusters to the right and produces incorrect output for this face.

Does converting to Gowthami Bold send my text anywhere?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser. The text you paste is never uploaded, logged or stored on a server, which is why the tool is safe for unpublished manuscripts and confidential Telugu documents. The only local data kept is your own UI preferences and recent conversion history, stored in your browser.
