HOW TO USE FontConverter
To use the FontConverter you will have to convert your .doc file into .txt file. This should be done with the following step:

• Save the file with the “save as” option from the file menu.
• Go to “Save as Type” which can be found beneath the “File name” option.
• Choose the “Plain Text” option then File Conversion Window will appear. Here, you can select “Other encoding” option and select US_ASCII as encoding. And click “OK”.
• In this way, you can prepare a Plain text document (.txt) which the font converter can read.
• Double Click the “FontConverter.jar” file and browse to the file that is to be converted and click on Run button.
• A new file with _Unicode followed by a original file name will be generated at the same folder from where you input your text file. (For Ex:  Non_Unicode file test.txt, Corresponding Unicode file will be test_Unicode.txt)
• Right click on this file and open with Openoffice.writer or MS-Word
• You will see a Unicode encoded text. Now you can save as your require format.

After the conversion from .doc file to txt file follow these steps to convert the file to Unicode:
1. Click on "Browse" and choose the ".txt" file which is to be converted to unicode (input file must be in ANSI format).
2. Click on "Save " and choose the destination and the output file which also needs to be in ".txt" or .doc format.
3. Choose the input font.

6. Click on "Run" to start the process.
7. Click "Cancel" to cancel the process
