Use meta tag char set utf8 for using tamil font...
for insert database you should use ..
mysql_query ("set character_set_results='utf8'");

Hope this will help you

You can do it with CSS3!

Before the functionality didn't actually exist beyond having the font pre-installed. Tamil fonts are unicode and often are ttf files. So make sure you have the ttf file on your web-server in order to have it available for use.

<style> 
@font-face
{
    font-family: myTamilFont;
    src: url(tamil_font.ttf);
}

div
{
    font-family: myTamilFont;
}
</style>

This will not work IE8 and below
