I second Praseed on this. For technical discussion, over Internet, English is
the best option (so far). Many people can't input Malayalam without some circus
(more or less like the one this thread discusses).

Praveen, basic netiquette requires that you honour whatever native language of
the chat room/mailinglist. If nothing, default to English.
I appreciate your efforts for SMC and making Malayalam working with GNU/Linux
among others. But forcing Malayalam upon someone is not something anyone would
appreciate.
I don't think SMC has a secret agenda of converting all lists/chat rooms to
Malayalam, does it?

Good.

He might have only meant the font size. It really looked big.
Thomas -- kindly keep the font size ~11pt. I'd suggest, everyone DISABLE their
HTML feature when sending mails to this list.
No hard feelings,
