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

[Piotr Arłukowicz]

And another thing: I think Dalai is talking about Preferences Window
(Ctrl+Alt+U) and the System Tab. In recent versions of Blender there is a
open button for any font which can be used in Blender GUI. See small
screenshot (sorry for posting this to the whole list, I cut it down as
possible). You need just a proper font to load and it should work. At least
this is our hope :)
