In https://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=15024 we had added Malayalam hyphenation support for scribus. A few people from other Indian languages asked me about their languages. So I now created a new bug to add hyphenation support for those languages too https://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=15348

Malayalam already supported alle -
BTW , any way to get any smc malayalam font in google doc ? Currently kartika is default. So the font rendering is very bad. Only baloo chetan is available In google doc. Which is not good for running matter
-
Yes
-
google doc uses fonts from Google Fonts. From 2014, we were discussing with google to host our fonts there, but only Meera Inimai added. Now they are having internal priority for latin fonts only. So unfortunately it is getting delayed for years.
-
Even Noto Sans Malayalam is not there
-
Hm.. I searched for that

I find that when "curly quotes" are used in Rachana, it leaves extra space after the quote mark so that the next character has much greater space in front. This is true only for Rachana, and not the other fonts (which is sad, because Rachana is the font that I like best among Malayalam Unicode fonts). Hope this can be rectified (unless it has already been corrected in a new release).

Latest version is in Ubuntu 18.04 or even can be downloaded from http://smc.org.in/fonts/#rachana

It looks like there is no problem in simple ASCII text, but when you use the "curly" quote marks, it is still there. I downloaded all the fonts just now to use in a book with XeLaTeX, and here is what I get.

Every font is Unicode -
That wouldn’t be a true statement -
Simplest way is to open up the font using, say, Fontforge and check the glyph—Unicode mapping’s
-
Easiest way is, type a to z in a text editor or word processor. Change the font to the one you are checking. If characters are still a-z then it is not an ASCII Malayalam font. (It doesn't ensure that the font is Unicode, though most likely it will be) - 16 June 2018 (14 messages)

Yes

@stultus ?

Yes. Hunspell have Malayalam extension.
Its far from perfect, but somewhat usable. -
Linux uses it by default if malayalam is selected as default.
-
It have integration with Libreoffice too

there was an implementaton of Langauge Tool Extension in malayalam for libreoffice -
that project was done by c-dit with the nila editor project and it was somewhat ok

Another possible way is to simply change the font to a lain font (Arial or times etc). If the text remains malayalam (or it changes to boxes) the text is in Unicode. If the text changes to unintelligible Latin or other Latin like alphabets, the text is encoded in a hacked ASCII or symbol font.
-
I have come across cases when some users (more specifically, users who are using original orthography fonts such as Rachana) uses the following sequence get the font tender the text in revised orthography.
<consonant><zw*j><vowel matra>
See the screen grab below.
My question is, is it a valid way of encoding text? Should I accept the text (which will be used for both Print and digital publishing) as it is? If so, which sequence is the correct sequence (i presume, the one with zwnj). -
-
Or is there a better way of achieving the same in a more acceptable way (by invoking a different stylistic set in the font/a rachana variant intended for revived orthography etc)

-
The 'better' way of achieving reformed orthography is to use a reformed orthography font. Keep the text intact, without sprinkling ZWNJ all over.
-
Rajeev, thank you. And I agree with you, that the text should be kept clean. But my audience prefer the elegant Rachana over any other fonts out there in the market. However my fear is that by not capturing the intent of the user we are leaving this to the font developer's choice

Then your only option is merrily sprinking ZWNJ

I'm looking at making a rule file that can be fed into a script that will apply this as a pre-publishing task. So the actual text can remain clean

The main problem is Malayalam languages' morphology behavior. Wordlist is not the right path for Malayalam spellchecker
-
A morphology analyser is necessary before addressing spellchecker problem. That is the same path followed by languages similar to Malayalam in morphology such as Finnish, Turkish etc
-
-
it allows to input morphemes and generate the resulting word from it
-
The reverse operation of analysis
-
I think you may need to talk to the user and see if they really need reduced glyph set for printing. The whole Rachana initiative and font was for a purpose completely opposite to what the user ask.. So there is a bit of irony to hack it to get reduced glyph set rendering :)

In case you don't know, using ZWNJ is not the semantics prescribed by unicode to force a given orthography in Malayalam. There is a special construct of using ZWJ 'before' virama. Chapter 12 of Unicode and https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2013/13082-pri250-resp.pdf has more discussion about this.

That's what I would have suggested in any other case. However in this case the target audience are not Malayalam speakers, but they are speakers from other language communities living in Kerala. These communities are predominently not very literates. So publications in these languages need to be in the simplified scripts (at least that's what the language communities decided). They may eventually grow in their ability in handling Malayalam script, but introducing all the possible ligature-conjuncts upfront to them might be a show stopper for many in such communities. Anyway, thank you for the suggestion and I will continue to promote the the regular use of these fonts in other contexts. :)
