Java supports Unicode fonts. So one unicode font can be used for all regional languages. Create a resource bundle for the various regional languages and load them accordingly.

The REgional fonts are working fine in swings, the problem is only with the awt applets.
Thanks

oh! Sorry for my misinterpretation. BTW are you using Unicode or non Unicode fonts for Regional Languages? Do u have any specific reson for using AWT in applets? Why can't yo use Swing in Applets?

It is working fine with swings. The need to use Unicode fonts is for the localization purpose.

I'm not sure if it really contains any information pertinent to your situation, but you may want to take a look at The Internationalization Trail of Sun's Java Tutorial.
Good Luck.
