Or follow these steps:
1) Download "Font for Galaxy SP" (Fontomizer) from the Android Market/Google Play.
2) Go to your phone Settings -> Applications -> and make sure that Unknown Sources is enabled.
3) Download "Akshar Unicode" from "Font for Galaxy SP" and install on your phone. "Font for Galaxy SP" lists fonts in alphabetical order. Click on alphabet "A" to download Akshar Unicode font.
4) After installing Akshar Unicode, go to your phone Settings -> Display -> Font Style and then select Akshar as your display font.
5) Download PaniniKeypadMalayalam IME from the Android Market/Google Play. After installing PaniniKeypad Malayalam IME, go to phone Settings -> Locale and text and check PaniniKeypad Malayalam so that the key board is enabled on your galaxy phone.
6) Now, whenever you want to type in Malayalam, long-press on your text box and choose PaniniKeypad Malayalam as your input.
If it does not work on your phone, it is probably because of the Android fragmentation issue. The fonts from Fontomizer are based on Flipfont library. Now if your phone has Flipfont function, it may work on your phone.
NOTE: the above method enables you to read/write malayalam fonts on your phone.
