Dear Mark,
Even if its native speakers, its wrong!!! I dont know who edited the logo and the pages.
In fact, the native speaker who translated the logo text is a different person from the one who actually made the logo, so that means it went through at least two people, and more have worked on the Malayalam Wikipedia since then and nobody has complained or even mentioned it there.
> I dont know what they feel? But its wrong, I have already send the
scanned image for the same to the list. I dont know whether u saw that or not. Feel the difference first.
last time i requested to wiki for creating a mailing list for malayalam. Yann said we will think about that later. So how come i can send mail to a a non-existing list. First of all let it come, then i will discuss!!!
Regards
Ginu George

I don't know what to say to this -- everything on the Malayalam Wikipedia is written by native speakers.
I sincerely doubt that the logo is wrong, because the logo itself was made by native speakers.
I don't know what font it uses, but it appears to render the words correctly.

If you have a problem with anything about the Malayalam Wikipedia, please discuss it with the Malayalam Wikipedia community first.

Hi Ginu, deciding what font to use for the logo text is still a gray area, particularly in non-latin scripts. I believe there are one or two malayalam editors on the translators mailing list; I am including it in copy.
What are your thoughts about the font currently used for Wikipedia article
text?

You must be an administrator to edit the message pages. (But you can also get adminship just to do that kind of work)

In which format I have to send the text. Could you please tell the font

or can attach the same in reply. Otherwise I can send a font file along

the correctly written font.

Hello Ginu,
Did you get a response about Malayalam and editing the logo?
To edit the logo you should write the text you want to include, and send
it
in an email to the wikitech-l list....
Let me know if you have any trouble. SJ

I saw the language version for Malayalam in Wikipedia is not in full mode for long. But i go through the entire stuff. There is no option to edit the logo text. Thats wrong. And i would like to do the project for malayalam. So if you can provide further information, then thats better i think.
Hope you respond soon
