Existing upstream works fine on Desktop and it's design by typographer so i
still prefer it for Desktop.
I think we can add this to upstream saying "Lohit Tamil WOFT", and make
sure fixes GSUB/GPOS get applied to both.

Nothing for now, if Tamil speaker are happy with it, lets go with it.
We should think for hinting Indian fonts in long term, at 8 point size,
shape not looks very good even at Desktop. In other case Latin script
characters look crystal clear due to hinting.
Autohiting doing good job at desktop level, but still hiting instructions
specifically for particular fonts,style and script can surely make it
better.
