Description of problem:
From Akira's font status page [1] it is observed that for language Malayalam,
serif-font is defaulted to Meera, while more appropriate font is Rachana (both
from smc-fonts package). Based on the discussion [2], it is agreed to
substitute Rachana as the preferred serif font in fontconfig file
65-nonlatin.conf
