Meera Font
^^^^^^^^^^
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)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
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.

^^^^^^
1. Solve kerning issues.
