People generally face a lot of trouble when they have to type in Hindi letters and special characters in an active file document. There are several Hindi keyboards out there that lack this functionality. Remington Keyboard is a popular Hindi typing keyboard which comes with Hindi fonts – Dev Lys and Kruti Dev.
