[Santhosh Thottingal <santhosh00@xxxxxxxxx>]

For Malayalam Lohit would be the bad choice because it is the least
popular font for Malayalam among all other available fonts. It follows a
reduced set orthography. Consistent glyphs with other Indic fonts is the
main drawback of that font and its less popularity. All Indic scripts
vary a lot and one design for all was not successful so far.

If size is a concern, you may split the fonts-smc package to fonts-smc-
meera etc as Fedora does(https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/smc-
meera-fonts)

Title:
  ttf-indic-fonts packages is not updated for last 2 years

Status in “ttf-indic-fonts” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The Debian fonts team recently restructured the indic fonts. ttf-indic-fonts changed to fonts-indic. This is meta package and all packages ttf-[language]-fonts renamed to fonts-[script/foundry]. In addition to this all fonts were updated to latest versions from upstreams. 
  I request ubuntu maintainers to update the fonts to latest versions and consider following the debian package naming changes for fonts.

  Refer: http://packages.debian.org/sid/fonts-indic
