If you are a graphic and web designer, the default fonts that came with Ubuntu will surely be not enough for your needs. However, if you know where to look, you can find plenty of additional fonts that can help get the job done.

The Swathanthra Malayalam Computing(SMC) has come up with a list of Malayalam unicode fonts which are available under GPL. The web page also has a preview and a link to download the font.

Lots of goodness has been happening with the Open Document Format. Well, not the format itself, that has been an ISO standard for some time and that kind of implies it gets a bit boring. Fileformats being boring is, much like in governments, a good thing. Boring means stable. And we need a stable Foundation. (bonus points to the people that got the reference ;) )

If you converted from Windows to Ubuntu like I did, chances are that you also installed the “Microsoft Core Fonts” (Times New Roman, etc) as I also did. However, recently, I discovered fonts that I actually like better than the Microsoft fonts!
