We have tested the ISOs and faced some major pango rendering issues
(incorrect rendering of some conjuncts). These were introduced in the
latest pango to fix bugs in lohit_ml font used in Fedora Core 6 (we
have tested that font and it doesn't render properly even in QT which
has so far the best rendering support for Malayalam and both Rachana
and Anjali  renders properly with the proposed patch). We have
provided a fix for pango  and hope to get it accepted before etch. The
bug id is #404727
