For each Indian languages there are suggested default fonts in most of the GNU/Linux distros . These came up after many user suggestions over years . ttf-indic-fonts-core was earlier serving these default font sets. But many font versions changed after that and many new fonts came up . I request you to respect that
For Malayalam Meera is the suggested Sans Serif font(default font) and Rachana is the suggested Serif fonts . Almost alk the distros like Fedora , Debian etc uses it that way . For Tamil , there is newly introduced font meera tamil http://packages.debian.org/en/sid/fonts-meera-taml which is asthetically better compared to lohit fonts . -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Documentation Packages, which is subscribed to ttf-indic-fonts in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/958345 Title: ttf-indic-fonts packages is not updated for last 2 years Status in “ttf-indic-fonts” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: The Debian fonts team recently restructured the indic fonts. ttf-indic-fonts changed to fonts-indic. This is meta package and all packages ttf-[language]-fonts renamed to fonts-[script/foundry]. In addition to this all fonts were updated to latest versions from upstreams.
