RE: Bengali: variants of same conjunct

[Michael Kaplan (Trigeminal Inc.)]

Thus far it is something that has been implemented in the fonts, rather than
anywhere else.... for example there are several ligatures in Tamil that will
display one way with the Latha font and the other way with Monotype Tamil
Arial (the way set out in Unicode 3.0 is done in the latter). 

Thus since people who write the language sent both, they have a not entirely
satisfying workaround.... specify different fonts for different parts of the
document.
