+Inimai is a san-serif typeface.  It is best used as a screen font for body
+text.  It is also useful for body text of printed pamphlets or single page
+designs.  Meera Inimai can be thought of as similar to Helvetica and its
+variation Arial.  Tamil characters are inherently vertically-elliptical.  The
+orthography of Roman glyphs of Meera Inimai are also based on this
+characteristic so that they sit smoothly with the Tamil glyphs.")
