any chances for upstream to release .sfd file as well for meera fonts?

it will help lot to patch font file, one can test binary(.ttf) generated from patched .sfd file easily

even package maintainer can do test build with applying patch, so testing will be also little bit easy for users 

also upstream can commit patch instead of changing whole binary file every time and can maintain changelog for same

for reference see https://fedorahosted.org/lohit/ release structure

Fix is working fine. 

The sfd of all SMC fonts will be soon uploaded to SMC GIT.

Hiran thanks for testing 
can you provide me updated fonts link?

It will be nice if one can get updated fonts from  http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases-noredirect/smc/fonts/malayalam-fonts-04/ as well
