Ok, here it is. I should have changed my localisation to englihs first, I guess.
1/ There is a Settings menu in N++, with 3 entries
2/ The second one is Srtler configurator...
3/ The dialog box that pops up on selecting the entry has a list on its left. The first item there is Global style.
4/ The second list then has many items; the second one is Default style.
5/ On the Font style on the right, there is a dropdown list that displays all available fonts. Chosse one that displays amharic script properly.
Hopefully you can go ahead fro there.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
1/ In order to display amharic characters, N++ needs to be set up with a font that can display them. Check Preferences -> Highlight cinfigurator -> Global style, and make sure the font being used there is amharic aware.
Now I remember that Windows had not supported the amharic script in its earlier versions. If you use a version older than XP, then that could be an issue, and N++ won't help.
2/ If what you need is a translation of N++ (localisation),, then check
the localization\ subfolder. It already has some files for non western languages that should help you getting the idea. Instructions for translators are provided on the N++ homepage at http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/translation-HOWTO.php
Changing "uk" to other country codes will point to translations for this page, perhaps there is one more suitable than english.
3/ If thie support you request is something else, we need to hear more.

Greetings
Is there a plugin for Amharic in Notepad++? If not can you show me some other sample languages that have plugins and how it is done?
Thank you

Aha ! Got it Chris! Thank you very much. This will help a lot. I LOVE N++
It depends on what you mean by "support":
