How to Use SenTamil Font on Android
Installing custom fonts on Android requires either a rooted device or a third-party app. The easier alternative for Android is to create your Tamil content using Unicode Tamil — which is supported natively by all Android apps — rather than using legacy SenTamil encoding.
If you have existing SenTamil text, convert it to Unicode using the steps below, then use it anywhere on Android without needing to install any font.
Why You Might Need SenTamil Font
You need the SenTamil font installed if:
- You have documents created in SenTamil encoding that you need to view or edit.
- You are working with a publisher or print shop that still uses SenTamil for their workflow.
- You are restoring or archiving old Tamil documents that were typeset in SenTamil.
- You need to open a SenTamil-encoded PDF and read its content correctly.
Convert SenTamil Text to Unicode (Better Long-Term Solution)
Instead of installing the SenTamil font, consider converting your SenTamil-encoded documents to Unicode — the modern standard. Unicode Tamil works on every device without any font installation:
- Go to FontConvertor.in/font-converter.
- Source Font: SenTamil.
- Target Font: Unicode (UTF-8).
- Paste your SenTamil text. Unicode output appears instantly.
- Copy and use the converted text anywhere — WhatsApp, Google Docs, websites, social media.
SenTamil vs Unicode Tamil — Which Should You Use?
| Feature | SenTamil | Unicode Tamil |
|---|---|---|
| Works without font installed | No | Yes |
| WhatsApp / social media | No — breaks on copy | Yes |
| Google can index it | No | Yes |
| Searchable in documents | No | Yes |
| Legacy DTP software support | Yes | Limited |
For any new content, use Unicode Tamil. For archiving or editing existing SenTamil documents, install the font and then convert to Unicode as part of your digitisation workflow.
