+It was created by Shaji N V in 2002 from TeX archive font created by Jeroen Hellingman using a tool named Pfaedit. In 2003 Baiju M added GSUB tables to the font and renamed it as MalOtf.ttf
+This was the default font in Sopananam GNU/Linux, (first GNU/Linux Custom destro with Malayalam Intefaces) released as a part of UNDP-KBIP-FSFIndia project
