Of course I can but then pls send me fonts or links from where I can download
them.

I think width is getting calculated correctly but the proble is with cursor
position. But not sure cause I am still unable to debug the code properly I
am depending only on the values printed on the konsole due to kdDebug() funct
[actaully it work like printf() or cout ]

The code responsible for the problem is kdelibs/kate/part as the name suggest
this code is generally get reused in many kde apps so you will have problem
there also.
the kdelibs/kate/part is shared by kate , kwriter so both of them has same
problem.
On the other hand kediit has same problem too but same bengali word do not
cause the problem. For example when I typed Sukanta on Kate it gives problem
but not in kedit. On the other hand kedit cause probelm when typed
Battacharejee.
There are a few other issues with QT (somehow it cannot display the

I shall try to regenerate the above issues for Qt.
