Hello,

I am trying to print some Tamil characters but does work though Hindi
characters are being printed. I have fonts for both the languages.

Plus I just want to know how java picks up the fonts, does it have its
own fonts. Below is the program I have written.

Apparently the Java font used for the JTextField does not have glyphs for the Tamil characters (but is has for Hindi chars).
Try so set the font of the textfield to a font for which you know it has glyphs for Tamil chars.
For info on how Java deals with fonts, see "Fonts" section of <http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/intl/index.html>
