Why Newspapers & DTP Studios Rely on Shree Lipi Fonts
Shree Lipi (by Modular Infotech) is used by all Marathi and Devanagari print journalists, publishers and ad agencies in Maharashtra, Goa and MP. Most of the Marathi publications and all major Marathi dailies like Lokmat, Sakal, Maharashtra Times, Pudhari, Tarun Bharat etc. have used Shree Lipi fonts for their publications. As a result, over the years, they have built an archive of publications using Shree Lipi fonts.
Mangal font (based on Unicode) is used on webpages. However, for programs like PageMaker 7.0, QuarkXPress, CorelDraw and Photoshop 7.0, traditional typesetting and page layout programs, Unicode and OpenType Fonts are of no use. Thus, there is a continuous need to use Shree Lipi fonts in publications. The Mangal fonts get converted to Shree Lipi fonts to get publications with high fidelity, perfectly kerned typography, and without any half characters or matras in incorrect positions.
