  (Asked by: username_0 on 2015-12-26)
  
  I've heard that people read [malayalam (മലയാളം)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malayalam) ebooks on kindle. Not the images placed in a PDF file. The file which we can read like normal ebook format (controlling the fontsize mainly).
  
  I tried installing a few fonts. They failed too. Is there a good way that can easily get my kindle the ability to make reading malayalam ebooks possible on my kindle?

  Try adding malayalam fonts (use unicode fonts like Chilanka). See these instructions for adding fonts - <http://www.epubor.com/how-to-add-fonts-to-kindle-paperwhite.html> .
  
  In case this doesn't work check if the text in the file is in unicode. Earlier there were many fonts around (like the old fonts used in Manorama website) that weren't unicode and not supported by most readers.
