Here are some links related to OpenType hacking.

OpenType Specifications :

Creating and supporting OpenType fonts for Indic scripts :

http://microsoft.com/typography/otfntdev/indicot/default.htm


1. PfaEdit -- http://pfaedit.sf.net

2. TTX -- http://www.letterror.com/code/ttx

   Using TTX, OTF font can be dump into XML, then
   then it can edit by using any text editor,
   I think kxmleditor will be usefull(http://kxmleditor.sf.net)

3. Font::TTF -- http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Font

  This perl module will be usefull for perl hackers.

4.FreeType -- http://www.freetype.org/index2.html
 
5. TtfMod -- http://pfaedit.sf.net/TtfMod 


BTW, Malayalam OTF font is available here.

This font is licensed under GNU General Public License.
This font is created by Jeroen Hellingman using Metafont.
Later N.V Shaji converted it to TTF, and now some GSUB tables 
are added as part of the project under KBip.
