How to type in Gurb Lipi
Gurb Lipi is a legacy (non-Unicode) font. Instead of using the standard Unicode code points for Gurmukhi script, it draws Punjabi letters in place of English ones: typing a plain English letter shows a Punjabi letter. That is why the preview above shows letters it can draw rather than your own text.
Text from our online editor is Unicode, so it will look like jumbled English if you switch it to Gurb Lipi. Use Gurb Lipi to open or edit older documents that were typed in it, or when a print shop or form asks for it by name. For anything new, a Unicode font such as Anek Gurmukhi works everywhere, including phones and websites.
