PfaEdit cant do all tables. Malayalam OTF was built using PfaEdit alone.
In Malayalam the first req was to substitute a unicode stream with a 
single glyph. For this please see the Ligature field in Char Info menu.
(Try Ctrl+i in selecting a glyph)

In the ligature field you have to give the name of chars from which
ligature is formed, seperated by space. (GSUB entries will be created)
