Anek Malayalam is a font you can install on a Mac.
About
Anek Malayalam is a font for Malayalam script. The supplied Homebrew cask installs one file, AnekMalayalam[wdth,wght]., in the user’s Library/ folder. It is a font installation, not a separate application.
The installed artifact is a variable font, as indicated by its wdth and wght axes in the filename. The cask provides this single file; it does not establish that other family variants or font files are included.
To install it, run brew install --cask font-anek-malayalam. After installation, choose Anek Malayalam from the font menu in a compatible application that supports Malayalam text. Installing the file makes the font available to applications; it does not select the font automatically. The available evidence does not specify the font’s full character coverage or additional capabilities.
