“Hey, have you ever wondered if Aswathy looks more beautiful than Athira?” This is a common question among pun-loving designers in Kerala, where Aswathy, Athira, Akhila, and other Malayalam font names are also popular girl names. Malayalam, one of the 22 official languages of India, is a beautiful language with a rich cultural heritage. It is spoken by more than 38 million people worldwide, primarily in the southern Indian state of Kerala. For those who work with Malayalam text, FML fonts are a great choice. In this tutorial, I will show you how to use FML fonts by converting Manglish text to FML using kuttipencil.in.

Installing FML fonts

1)Download and Install FML Fonts

The first step in using FML fonts is to download and install them on your computer. You can download FML fonts from websites like malayalamfont.com, which provides a variety of fonts in different styles. Once you have downloaded the fonts, you can install them on your computer by following these steps:

1. Open the Control Panel on your computer and navigate to the Fonts folder.
2. Copy and paste the downloaded FML font files into the Fonts folder and install those fonts.

3. Restart any applications that you want to use the fonts in, such as Figma.

Typing Malayalam Text

Step 1: Open kuttipencil.in

The first step is to open kuttipencil.in, a website that allows you to convert Manglish text to FML. Once the website loads, you will see a text box where you can enter your Manglish text. Make sure you have clicked the google keyboard icon to enable conversion.

Step 2: Enter Manglish Text

In the text box, enter the Manglish text that you want to convert to FML. Manglish is a combination of Malayalam and English and is often used by Malayalam speakers. If you only need Malayalam text and are not looking for FML conversion, Manglish Keyboard by ClusterDev should do the job for you

Step 3: Convert Text to FML

Once you have entered your Manglish text, click the “Convert” button. The website will convert the text to FML and display it in the box below the Manglish text.

Step 4: Copy the FML Text

To use the converted text in your designs, select and copy the FML text from the box. You can then paste it into your design tools like Figma, Illustrator, or Photoshop.

Step 5: Customize FML Text

Once you have pasted the FML text into your design tool, you can customize it as needed. You can adjust the font size, color, and other properties using the text properties panel or if you are looking to play around with the typography in Figma, simply right-click and click ‘flatten’ to convert your text to a vector. By doing this every curve and crevice in your text is now editable.

Now that you know how to use FML fonts, you can start incorporating Malayalam text into your designs with ease.
