Arima for Malayalam
Arima covers the Malayalam character set, used for Malayalam. Here it is set in Malayalam.
Editing a PDF that uses Arima
Most PDFs embed only the letters they already use. Type a new letter and many editors either refuse or swap in a different font. MythosPDF recognises Arima from the widths stored in your PDF, loads the complete open font, and sets your new text in Arima itself. The rest of the page is carried over untouched.
Why Malayalam needs shaping
In Malayalam, letters combine into conjuncts, vowel signs can be drawn before the consonant they follow, and marks stack above and below. A PDF stores the finished glyphs, not the letters, so an editor has to shape new text with the full font. MythosPDF does this and also records the real letters, so the edited text stays searchable and copyable.
