In Gedit and Chromium it is Ubuntu Monospace. In Emacs, "M-x
describe-font" tells me the following:

  -unknown-Ubuntu Mono-normal-normal-normal-*-17-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1

When I type "C-u C-x =" on the Tamil character, the chosen font is shown as:

  xft:-unknown-Lohit Tamil
Classical-normal-normal-normal-*-17-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1

I have all the required characters that I need in this classical font.
"Sri" is the last one that I need.

"M-x version" tells me:

  GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.12.2)

I compiled it from 24.5 sources available at:
