For Malayalam Lohit would be the bad choice because it is the least popular font for Malayalam among all other available fonts. It follows a reduced set orthography. Consistent glyphs with other Indic fonts is the main drawback of that font and its less popularity. All Indic scripts vary a lot and one design for all was not successful so far.

If size is a concern, you may split the fonts-smc package to fonts-smc-meera etc as Fedora does(https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/smc-meera-fonts)
