For Malayalam Lohit would be the bad choice because it is the least popular font for Malayalam among all other available fonts. It follows a reduced set orthography.

If size is a concern, you may split the fonts-smc package to fonts-smc- meera etc as Fedora does(https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/smc- meera-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. I request ubuntu maintainers to update the fonts to latest versions and consider following the debian package naming changes for fonts.
