Azhagi's "Tamil Font Converters" - Unique and Extraordinary

Convert from "any" Tamil font - old or new TO "any" other Tamil font - old or new

Introduction

If you are using a Mac system, then 'Azhagi for Mac' has an inbuilt Tamil fonts converter in it. For details, kindly please visit tamil-fonts-converter-for-mac.php.
If you are a Windows user, then both Azhagi+ and Azhagi++ have in-built Tamil Font Converters.
Apart from the aforesaid inbuilt converters, there is a standalone converter application named DTTC (Document Text Tamil Fonts Converter) too.
DTTC does lightning fast conversion of entire MS Word documents, with all formatting intact.
There are two other standalone tools too - AAE (Azhagi's Addins for MS Excel) and AAW (Azhagi's Addins for MS Word) which do conversion of entire MS Excel and MS Word documents from within Excel and Word itself.
Video demos here - explaining the inbuilt converters, in a clear-cut manner.

Using the inbuilt converter in Azhagi+

Using the converter for plain text Tamil fonts conversion is extremely simple. For example, if you wish to convert from Unicode encoding (i.e. from Tamil texts in Latha, Vijaya, Nirmala Ui, etc. fonts) to Bamini font encoding (i.e. Tamil text in Bamini font), then, all you have to do is simply the following.

Choose Unicode for 'from this font encoding'.
Choose Bamini for 'to this font encoding'.
Paste your Unicode text in the left side box.
Click on 'Convert' button.
The converted text will appear in the right side box.
Thats all to it. You can copy/paste the converted text in the right side to wherever you want to.
Note: 'Latha' and 'Bamini' are automatically chosen by the converter itself since Latha is of Unicode encoding and Bamini is of Bamini encoding.
Please see screenshot below for better understanding.

In a similar manner, the following steps will help you convert texts in 'SaiIndira' font to Unicode.

Choose 'SaiIndira' for 'from this font encoding'.
Choose 'Unicode' for 'to this font encoding'.
Paste your Tamil text in 'SaiIndira' font in the left side box.
Click on 'Convert' button.
The converted text will appear in the right side box, in Unicode.
That is all to it. You can copy/paste the converted text in the right side box to wherever you want to.
Please see this screenshot below for better understanding.
Note: A font like 'Latha' is automatically chosen by the converter itself since 'Latha' is of Unicode encoding.

Important note

If you own a font whose name (e.g. Kalaham) does not match with any of the names in the existing 'Font Encodings' list# of Azhagi, it does not mean you cannot effect to-and-fro conversion using that font. It is very much possible that your font is of the same encoding as one of the font encodings already supported by Azhagi. For instance, 'Kalaham' font is of the same encoding as 'Bamini' font.

So, if you wish to effect conversion from 'Kalaham' font to any other font encoding, then just select 'Bamini' in the 'from this font encoding' list of Azhagi's Font Converter, before effecting conversion.

Similarly, if you wish to effect conversion from any other font encoding to 'Kalaham' font, then just select 'Bamini' in the 'to this font encoding' list of Azhagi's Font Converter before effecting conversion.
