Meera Font

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:

  1. Mr.Hussain K H, The designer of popular Rachana fonts for Rachana Aksharavedi and an ardent supporter of traditional Malayalam orthography.

  2. Suresh P, A free software enthusiast and hobbyist

  3. Swathanthra Malayalam Computing - A free software collective engaged in development, localization and popularization of various free software for Malayalam.

Main features of the font

  1. Traditional script is used.
  2. Even stroke typeface for better screen rendering.
  3. Proper Ascent/Descent metrics considering the nature of vertically stacked Malayalam conjuncts.
  4. Individually designed glyphs for complex conjuncts rather than using component glyphs.
  5. Supports both Opentype Script tags MLYM and MLM2

To do

  1. Solve kerning issues.
  2. Add support for silgraphite.
