Hi Andre,
Both Malayalam and Tamil communities had consensus for this request and had
strong opposition to web fonts roll out.
Please check the last comment at
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31936
The i18n tech team in particular promised both the communities that web fonts
won't be implemented unless we request them again.
Please check Siebrand's message at

which says:
//On Monday December 12 at 18:00 UTC we deployed the extension WebFonts to 40
wikis in 11 Indic languages and Wikimedia Incubator -- all wikis in Assamese,
Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Marathi, Nepali, Oriya, (Eastern) Punjabi,
Sankrit and Telugu have WebFonts now. WebFonts was not deployed on Malayalam
and Tamil projects. The reason for this was that community members had
requested us not to. We are confident that in time, the communities will
request that WebFonts is enabled on their projects.//
Now, who requested for this feature to be implemented in Tamil Wikimedia
projects? Was there a community consensus? Did the developers request for the
community's view or invite them to beta test at least?
Coupling web fonts implementation with ULS and forcing it on the community is
unfair.
