Try LaserBengali font from Linguist's Software. I have personally not used the Bengali font, but I have used their Gurmukhi (for tyesetting Punjabi) and some other fonts with diacritical marks. It works pretty well. The support fonts for over 365 languages for Mac and Windows. ? Linguist's Software P.O. Box 580 Edmonds, WA 98020-0580 ? http://www.linguistsoftware.com/ ? Ph (206) 775-1130 ?

Does anyone have a good way of typesetting Bengali language. I tried FM8 (with its glorified unicode support) and I'm thoroughly disappointed. It does import RTF files alright but messes them quite badly by adding additional spaces and characters. Bengali is double byte and I guess that's where the problem lies. InDesign messes the files just as bad by swapping some characters and "decomposing" the double bytes into single characters. Any idea is welcome. That's been a misery to me in the last weeks.
