I don't think opening many bugs with same problem will help you.
F-7 and F-8 have same rpms. No modifications done in Malayalam Font so this is
pango issue not font issue
Additional info:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os/Fedora/fonts-malayalam-2.1.5-1.fc7.noarch.rpm
is same as
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/i386/os/Packages/lohit-fonts-malayalam-2.1.5-3.fc8.noarch.rpm

The only release change is because of we moved font file from fonts-malayalam to
lohit-fonts-malayalam


Closing this as Duplicate.

I know that opening many bugs with same issue will not resolve my issue.  I am
sure that there was issue with both the above font packages. I have attached a
screenshot with Rachana-g01 font. It doesn't have the "pra" issue. but there are
some other problems. Please find the screenshot.
