--- Comment #43 from Erik Moeller <[email protected]> ---
The discussion on ml.wikipedia.org seems to be about defaulting to the system
font, rather than setting a font that doesn't work well for many users. That's
a change that was already made for Tamil Wikipedia.

Unfortunately it's impossible to reliably detect what fonts are present on a
user's system, so we're often faced with the choice of initializing a freely
licensed font, which may override a locally present font, or having some users
not be able to view the page _at all_.

That said, if the overwhelming consensus in the Malayalam community is that the
provided font is inferior to the system font installed on many users' systems,
it seems sensible to default to the system font instead, like we did for Tamil.
