Hello,I am using the latest version of freefonts available from official Debian and Ubuntu repos. LibreOffice and Firefox renderes Malayalam in a broken way while using fonts from freefont. The dangerous part is, freefont is given preference over Malayalam-first fonts in some applications, which means the system cannot render Malayalam correctly even though it has good up-to-date Malayalam fonts installed on it.
When asked, Santhosh Thottingal (http://thottingal.in/), a font expert, said that freefont has outdated Malayalam subset and I should be reporting it.
I request the developers to take this issue seriously. Please update the set or release a newer version with Malayalam totally removed.
