--- Comment #1 from Pravin Satpute <psatpute at redhat.com> ---
U+0D44, U+0D62 and U+0D63  (Vedic)

U+0D70 to U+0D75 are Malayalam fraction

These are recently added to Unicode and not frequently used characters. Even
Malayalam orth file in fontconfig does not list these characters.

So missing these characters does not affect much making Meera as a default
fonts.

On the other hand community prefers Meera (Traditional script) fonts. So we
should move with it.

But i think having Lohit Malayalam in the default installation will be good. As
it provide more coverage and also support Malayalam new script, so does not
make redundancy with Meera.

So we should install Lohit Malayalam as well but Meera should be default font
for Malayalam.
