Because it is designed to be monospace (all glyphs are expected to be
of same width, which is not suitable for Malayalam). Swapnil, Mihir
and Saurabh from College of Engineering Pune is working on this as
their final year project. They have got some progress but there are
lot of extra spaces because of the monospace design. They are looking
for a solution, if anyone is interested to work with them please
reply.

Console also has this problem because both of them use vte as backend.

You have to keep reminding your government that you don't get your
rights from them; you give them permission to rule, only so long as
they follow the rules: laws and constitution.
