Mapnik is a free mapping toolkit, written in C++. One of it's major users is OpenStreetMap. If you check OpenStreetMap, you can see that Languages like Russian, Arabic, Persian, Chinese etc are rendered in it (Not sure whether they are properly rendered or not). The lack of proper Indic support is the major reason for the absence of Malayalam.

Corresponding source code
Mapnik's Rendering issue has been eliminated last year by Hermann Kraus by re-writing Mapnik using harfbuzz during his GSoC project. http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2012/herm/22002.
The source can be found at https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/tree/harfbuzz (This is yet to be merged to the master https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/issues/1428).
Hence closing this task.
