here is a font package which contains the Tamil OpenType fonts
available on http://tamil.homelinux.org/ which are created by

When installing this font package and the package with the Tamil
KDE translations (kde3-i18n-ta), switching the language to Tamil
in the KDE control centre and selecting the font "Tscu_paranar"
in the KDE font settings, it looks like in this screen shot:

I'm happy to hear feedback and suggestions what else is needed to
improve support for Tamil in SuSE Linux.
