Hoi,
Given that we should be moving forward not backward, it makes more sense to
provide Unicode 5.1 characters and webfonts.
The big thing of MediaWiki was that it supported Unicode when this was still
a new thing to do. We should support the latest and the best Unicode
support.
NB this is not an issue that is problematic for Malayam alone. Another
script that was updated was Devanagari ... used for Hindi for instance.. We
have a request for support for fonts for the Ge'ez script ... used for
Amharic and a few others.
Thanks,
GerardM
