Well maintained and popular malayalam unicode fonts are available at
https://smc.org.in/fonts/ and its source codes are available at
https://gitlab.com/smc for further reference. 

The info obtained from
https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/135020/malayalam-text-formating-rendering-problem-with-libreoffice-writer-536-and-542/?answer=135115#post-id-135115
is help to take necessary action to solve it. 

"With 5.4.0.3 on Windows and Meera regular font, when a line ends in
U+0D26U+0D46 there is extra space. Perhaps when the glyphs are drawn in reverse
order, the engine fails to determine where to add spacing.

Apache OpenOffice 4.1.3 does not show extra space. LibreOffice introduced a new
layout engine starting in 5.3, as explained at One of the main goals was to use
a single engine across all platforms, rather than Uniscribe only on Windows."
