“Gangal1 font, which gets well with all type of softwares and can be used on almost all window-based editors, is expected to replace the existing fonts in Devnagri script,” Srikant Barve, promoter of Marathi Editor told reporters this evening.

He said that the font will be accessible for the purpose of download from the sites.

Talking to reporters from phone during the press conference, Shubhanan Gangal said that just like an Arial font, Gangal1 font will never become outdated.

He said that the font is compatible for all kind of applications and can be shared with others through an email by attaching a file.
