They are partially unicode 6.0 compatible fonts. Glyphs used for archaic
characters not added.

I am also a maintainer of those font and we are not aware of any errors that

I had filed a package update bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ttf-indic-fonts/+bug/958345 but no
response so far.

It won't affect anything.

I will try to contact some ubuntu developers to get this package update done
soon.

Alternate solution is installing the fonts from upstream release(
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/smc/fonts/malayalam-fonts-5.0.1/ )
