Malayalam is becoming increasingly popular as an online medium of communication among Malayalees, especially with more and more malayalees turning to social networking and blogging. Therefore, Malayalam fonts are becoming a necessity in order to read and write or type articles, e-mails etc... Several Free Malayalam Unicode fonts are available for free download. Most online newspaper websites have their own fonts to read Malayalam text.

Given below is a list of Malayalam Fonts including Malayalam Unicode fonts which are available for free download. For you convenience, the preview of each of these fonts are given here with a paragraph of text.

When you open pages with Malayalam text and find boxes instead of Malayalam text on malayalam alphabets, its because there is no Malayalam font installed on your system. Download Malayalam fonts and install them on to your system.

How to Install Malayalam Fonts - To install fonts, copy and paste .ttf file to your computers C:\Windows\Fonts folder. In case of .zip files, unzip the files and copy the .ttf files to the fonts folder.

Not satisfied with solutions on how to fix some remaining shaping bugs in Rachana, I have researched and ventured to try radically different approach to complex advanced text shaping rules for traditional Malayalam script fonts. Following the v2 version of Indic OpenType specification (mlm2), a completely new set of shaping rules were written from the scratch. Though it was bit of a struggle to get Uniscribe/Windows with its idiosyncrasies to shape correctly, and Adobe InDesign need this fix, it proved to be a great success. The new set of rules fix all known shaping bugs to my knowledge. The development of this shaping rule program is a blog entry for another time.

The result is a new font named RIT Rachana, released under libre Open Font License free to download and use by individuals, designers, organizations, institutions, government departments and media houses.

Rachana Institute of typography, has announced a newly designed Rachana variant called "RIT- Rachana". Normally this is an occasion for celebration, since Rachana is one of the first complete Unicode fonts Malayalam has seen, and it embodies the work of many people, reminding generations that we are committed to our mother tongue. Like most things in 2020, this wasn't a normal occasion though. This release was accompanied by a document titled "Genesis and Rationale". This document is a clear attempt at rewriting the history of Rachana with misinformation.

Rachana Aksharavedi's goals survived and were achieved through the work of people in SMC. This happened in 2018. It was a poignant moment marked by V R Prabodhachandran Nair, a vehement opponent of Rachana's original goals, releasing "Gayathri", a Traditional script font built on SMC's current engineering stack, developed with financial support of Kerala Bhasha Institute. The act vindicated the convictions of Rachana Aksharavedi, of all those people who came together in 1999 out of love for Malayalam and firm idea of language script as a community owned resource and we, SMC held out through the years to make sure it happened.

This, is what we did. We walked with Rachana Aksharavedi and Rachana Unicode from its early years, stuck with it and fulfilled the vision of its creators. As far as Rachana, the font is concerned, we tended to it for over 15 years through during its 20 years of life.

In 2019, 20th year of Rachana Akshara Vedi's formation and Rachana's initial release, Anivar suggested redrawing and rebuilding of Rachana font glyphs, in a way it suits modern computing systems. We are happy that RIT is taking up this technical task, but unhappy with the way of removing SMC with misinformation spreading on historical Genesis.

We think they are trying to rewrite history and deride not just the decade plus work that SMC did, but also the commitment to traditional script that Rachana Aksharavedi upheld. A cursory glance at the newly released RIT-Rachana reveals that the font does not follow the traditional script as comprehensively as it claims in all popular rendering engines, even while claiming that Rachana that we maintained over the years do not commit to traditional scripts.

The end result of this one sided blame game has forced us to put the development of Rachana, Meera, Keraleeyam, Uroob and Meera Inimai on hold, until this conflict can be resolved in a just and kind manner. Any bug fixes will be made as far possible. These fonts currently do not derive the full benefits of our engineering stack, and they won't be ported into the new stack. If there are volunteers to take up maintenance for these fonts in accordance with their designer's view and his manner of working, we are happy to help out in any way we can and transition the development to them. For users of this fonts, we will continue providing downloads of last releases.

But this purge had the side-effect of removing xubuntu-default-settings (depending on fonts-noto-hinted), and thus xubuntu-core and xubuntu-desktop as well... meaning most of my software (including LibreOffice) is now on the apt autoremove list... so I can't clean my installs anymore.

... and then disable the ones you won't use (like most Noto fonts) I disabled over 180 fonts this way, things run a lot better.They're still "installed" but no other programs on your system will see them. Unless you have limited drive space and every kilobyte counts that's the way to go.Still don't have a clue why at least 100 fonts very few users will ever need are a dependency!

Following @gunnar-hjalmarsson's pointer I left the fonts on with the metapackage had strong depegdencies installed (fonts-noto-core fonts-noto-hinted fonts-noto-ui-core)... and removed only the 'recommended' ones that are installed by default in the (X)Ubuntu install process:

Sadly, the technical implementation (at least for Debian-derived Linux distros) leaves a lot to be desired because of the hundreds of separate fonts that comprise Noto. As you note, these clog up font menus and make selecting from the fonts for the languages you actually use more of a chore.

Font Manager creates a ~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d/78-Reject.conf with fonts that you've deselected with its GUI. The downside to this, of course, is that you'd have to do that over a hundred times to deselect all the Noto Sans fonts that only support non-Western scripts, times all the systems that you use.

Incidentally, visiting the Wikipedia article for Linear A is an effective test to see if Noto is doing its job. That is, if the font is properly installed, you should see "no tofu" (no Unicode replacement symbols) in that article.
