(adding Davide and the bug report itself to the CC) Well, the situation about g-i is the following: most Indic languages (including Bengali) are rendred with ttf-freefont currently. This seems OK. However, Jamil already mentioned that the rendering for Bengali could be better, IIRC, but more because of a font *size* problem than a font *shape* problem. I bet that, in the future, we will try to replace freefont for Indic languages by something else (we already use a dedicated udeb for Tamil and Malayalam). That "something" could either be some fonts from ttf-indic-fonts (for instance Mukti for Bengali script) or DejaVu as soon as DejaVu supports the relevant scripts (which it doesn't yet). So, about #375475 (not 376475), I'm not sure whether the BR is relevant anymore. Given that D-I currently llives with Freefont, it would maybe be better to close it now...and open a new one when we *really* will need the udeb. Davide?
