The Meera opentype font, a Malayalam traditional script font, is primarily created for the GNU system. The inspiration for this work is drawn from the pioneering works done by Rachana Aksharavedi. The font is a result of collaborative effort from:
-
Mr.Hussain K H, The designer of popular Rachana fonts for Rachana Aksharavedi and an ardent supporter of traditional Malayalam orthography.
-
Suresh P, A free software enthusiast and hobbyist
-
Swathanthra Malayalam Computing - A free software collective engaged in development, localization and popularization of various free software for Malayalam.
- Traditional script is used.
- Even stroke typeface for better screen rendering.
- Proper Ascent/Descent metrics considering the nature of vertically stacked Malayalam conjuncts.
- Individually designed glyphs for complex conjuncts rather than using component glyphs.
- Supports both Opentype Script tags MLYM and MLM2
- Solve kerning issues.
- Add support for silgraphite.
