See, the rachana has been built to work on windows and mainly towards compatibility of softwares such as office apps, wordPad and other dtp tools towrds rachana softaware.

I think, this will work well for the new lipi well than for the traditional
lipi, but I don't know, I may be wrong.

Yes, that's right. Let us concentrate on QT rendering of Malayalam. Can you
