MeeraNew is the default Malayalam font for Fedora 36. I have just released a much improved version of this libre font and they are just built for Fedora 36 & rawhide; which should reach the users in a week of time. For the impatient, you may enable updates-testing
repository and provide karma/feedback.

Two major improvements are present in version 1.3
- Improved x-height to match RIT Rachana, the serif counterpart. This should improve readability at default font sizes.
- Large improvements to many kerning pairs including the above-base mark positioning of dotreph (
0D4E
) character (e.g.ൎയ്യ
), ി (0D3F)
, ീ (0D40)
vowel symbols (e.g.ന്റി
), post-base symbols of Ya, Va (e.g.സ്ത്യ
) etc.
The font source and OTF/TTF files can be downloaded at Rachana website or at GitLab.
