Problem with Chromium is their bug. We have already reported it. 
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=45840
If apple safari does not show Malayalam properly, it is their bug. Consider
filing a bug(if possible).

>From http://unicode.org/versions/Unicode5.1.0/#Malayalam_Chillu_Characters
"Because older data will use different representation for chillus,
implementations must be prepared to handle both kinds of data."

If chromium or apple safari breaks this standard, please report bugs against
them. Chrome is known to buggy with Malayalam and all the news portals, blogs
of Malayalam are aware of this issue. From the above bug, you can see that it
is not limited to Malayalam. Chrome cannot render "Srilanka" written in Sinhala
because of that bug.

By the normalization rules in Webfont, it tries to use the least common
denominator for the encoding, so that users from older versions and new
versions of operating system can read, use the content(copy the content to
local machine).

Since there is a force conversion of whatever user writes/edits to atomic
chillu characters, in Malayalam wiki, there is no problem with interlinking
articles by copy pasting. The normalization code automatically converts it to
correct link. If this is not the case, please show me an example.

Unless the webfonts does not break any of the functionality of mediawiki, the
normalization code is going to be present there.
