I am no expert at Font and graphics. When I show(font = "Vrinda",
PLAIN, 8 size) it looks bad on screen using graphics.drawString...in
fact unreadable. I open MS Word and this font looks ok on the
screen. When I print from our app, things look ok.

Vrinda is an odd font. It is very small and at size 8 it is too small
to render completely. Just make it bigger.

First we need to see your actual code to diagnose it.

Failing that read up on fonts at http://mindprod.com/jgloss/font.html.
