Hello saranvisali,

I'm not exactly sure how a TAMIL fonts looks like but when I Googled it, I found this web site "http://www.azhagi.com/freefonts.html" where you can download free Tamil fonts and I test one of the font and VS X3 recognizes is. Just make sure you installed the fonts on your Windows Fonts folder.

You can follow the steps from Microsoft on how to install fonts on Window 7: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows ... ete-fonts/

I tried installing the akruti1 truetype font and it's being recognize by VS X3.
