I find the right hand side much better. I think that is true Malayalam. The left hand side seems like a bastardised version. :-)

Frankly it took me quite some time to figure out what you were saying. Phew!

I really thought you were nitpicking but later understood that you certainly have a point.

Anyway how is it that my firefox renders it so perfectly? I have not installed any font. What is the magic?

Is everyone else also able to view?

Localization is a huge topic and I never understood anything. :-)
