Hi, We are working on a Complex script PDF rendering library named PyPDFLib(https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/pypdflib/). One of its test case (or use case) is to render a wiki page in complex script(any Indian Language) to PDF. Currently PDF export feature is not available(not working) for Indian language wiki projects because of technical incapability of Python Reportlab library.
Just wanted to give an early preview of this software library through an online interface : http://silpa.smc.org.in/Render You can try with a Wikipedia page in your language and verify the generated PDF. You can also access this using this URL http://silpa.smc.org.in/Render?wiki=http://ta.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%AE%87%E... (replace that wiki URL with other page addresses too - any Ianguage - not limited to Indian languages)
There are lot of items not implemented, but your feedback is requested on the current version. The library uses Pango for text rendering and Cairo for graphics and PDF features.
ps: Don't get surprised if you get a 500 Error page for the random page you are trying. Just try another wiki page ;)
Thanks Santhosh Thottingal http://thottingal.in

Appreciation for your Great work.
I have noticed unwanted spacing before and after chillu in malayalam language. For example ർ, ന്ന, പ്ര please look in to it.
Thank you
