Hi,
       import java.awt.EventQueue;
import java.awt.Font;
import java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
public class Tamil {
     static void showGui(){
          JFrame frame = new JFrame();
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          JPanel panel = (JPanel) frame.getContentPane();
          JLabel label = new JLabel();
          Font f = new Font("Latha",Font.BOLD,12);
          label.setFont(f);
          label.setText("\u0B85\u0B95\u0BB0\u0BAE\u0BCD");
          panel.add(label);
          frame.setSize(300,300);          
          frame.setVisible(true);
      * @param args
     public static void main(String[] args) {          
          EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable()
               @Override
               public void run() {
                    showGui();
}This is just a simple example . Please understand what other people said.
