A curious font issue

Hello, ( Newbie alert! )

I was trying to read an epub file in my Kobo, which is in Malayalam language. The "chillu" letters (That's what those letters are called in Malayalam) were not rendering properly. Then I load the epub in Calibre and ended up in this interesting situation. Please see the attached image. I have marked the respective words in red boxes. Why the letters are rendered different in the xhtml viewer and preview panel? The rendering is perfect in the xhtml viewer, but wrong in file preview. Is there some way to rectify this? BTW, I am using Calibre (v3.29) installed form official repository in Fedora 29.

Any advice/suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you.
