However, I have installed a thai ebook on the device, taken from the second post of this thread (downloaded the epub, and had calibre automatically convert it to .mobi).
It displays properly. (this is actually what I expected, since the KT comes with the Code 2000 font, which should support virtually all languages).
So my suggestion is, before you break your Kindle by installing some weird font hacks, give it a go with the installed font.
I tried a bit more, and created a small HTML test file which I converted to .mobi using this site. As far as I can tell, everything displays properly on the device. I'm attaching the files for reference, so you can check the results for yourself.
Again, this was verified to work on a *standard* Kindle with *no* font hack.

Hi,
When I use your attached file it works perfectly. I can read tamil. But when I converted a pdf using the same site it's not working. I mean it's just random characters which will appear when you don't have the required font. Can you tell me what we should exactly do if I want to read tamil?
Also in your html before converting have you used the unicode to create that?
