[Bf-gamedev] Showing Malayalam language in BGE script window

[Jestin Joy]

Little Google search gave me this
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Preferences/System#International_Fonts
Could see that my language Malayalam is not listed there. Also found this
https://developer.blender.org/T40179.

Could someone provide me a quick solution.

Screenshot of my problem is given in this link:
