+^^^^^^^^^^
+The Meera opentype font, a Malayalam traditional script font, is primarily created for the GNU system.The inspiration for this work is drawn from the pioneering works done by Rachana Aksharavedi.The font is a result of collaborative effort from:
+
+1. Mr.Hussain K H (The designer of popular Rachana fonts for Rachana Aksharavedi and an ardent supporter of traditional Malayalam orthography)
+
+2. Suresh P ( A free software enthusiast and hobbyist)
+
+3. Swathantra Malayalam Computing (A free software collective engaged in development, localization and popularization of various free software for Malayalam)
+
+Main features of the font
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+1. Traditional script is used.
+2. Even stroke typeface for better screen rendering.
+3. Proper Ascent/Descent metrics considering the nature of vertically stacked Malayalam conjuncts.
+4. Individually designed glyphs for complex conjuncts rather than using component glyphs.
+5. Glyphs for conjuncts with gopi-repham already designed for future use.
+
+To do
+^^^^^^
+1. Solve kerning issues.
+2. Implement gopi-repham in GSUB.
+3. Add support for silgraphite.
