Keli has all the weights and shapes, except small caps which has no
relevance in Malayalam.

All usual LaTeX commands like \textbf, \textit, \emph, ... will work
perfectly well. Nothing else is done in the malayalam.sty for
accomplishing this. LaTeX's PSNFSS scheme is made use of for accessing
the Keli font. *.fd files are part of the distribution.

Best.
