what do you mean by "hindi font" and "text font"? Maybe you should take a look at MSDN - SQL Server Collation Fundamentals

If your concept of "font" is something from the pre-unicode-era, you should get rid of it quickly!
Before Unicode, there were official code pages for many alphabets. And for some alphabets, those code pages did not exist officially, they were just "emulated" by a font. I.e. the text was stored as ASCII, but the font displayed some foreign characters instead of ASCII characters, similar to the Wingdings font during that era. With Unicode available nowadays, use Unicode. And in SQL server, use the nchar or nvarchar data type.
