Which should give you a hint about where the real problem is :) 
Seriously, is there no way to change Windows' system-wide font 
setting to use your font?

The trouble is that it brings some non-trivial problems on non-Unicode 
platforms (like, I assume, yours, because you shouldn't have such 
problems under Win2k or XP). For example, poEdit uses encoding 
reported by the OS for both output and _input_ and I really have no 
idea how would it convert entered text into UTF-8 (which it uses 
internally) if the encoding reported by OS is not what you use in 
your Tamil font (I assume the encoding will be misreported because of 
lack of Tamil l10n of Windows...).

The problem here is that wxWindows 2.3.2 (against which the semistatic 
version is compiled) didn't handle UTF-8 encoding in catalogs. You 
need to either recompile poEdit against wxWindows 2.3.3 (see 
http://www.wxwindows.org) or you can convert the catalog to "native" 
encoding used for Tamil in Unix (sorry, I have no idea which it is, 
not even _if_ it is something other than UTF-8).

HTH,
