These are Unicode Fonts and you need a Unicode editor.
TeXworks is a  Unicode compliant Editor, whereas Texmaker may not be.

> Latha font is working good, but not working in texmaker window, it is only
> working in texworks window.
> In texmaker window when i type tamil, only square box is displaying, letters
> not displaying.
> I download the other tamil fonts but when i open the fonts file to install,
> it is coming only in english. I don't why it is coming like that. So I am not
> able to install other tamil fonts.
