For each Indian languages there are suggested default fonts in most of the GNU/Linux distros . These came up after many user suggestions over years . ttf-indic-fonts-core was earlier serving these default font sets. But many font versions changed after that and many new fonts came up . I request you to respect that

For Malayalam Meera is the suggested Sans Serif font(default font) and Rachana is the suggested Serif fonts . Almost alk the distros like Fedora , Debian etc uses it that way .

For Tamil , there is newly introduced font meera tamil http://packages.debian.org/en/sid/fonts-meera-taml which is asthetically better compared to lohit fonts .
