Bug#343446: [g-i] Missing Bengali fonts



Hi all,
I tested the new ttf-freefont package [1] and produced a g-i image
which uses it for Bengali; some screenshots are available in [1],[2],[3].
Let me know if they look ok; I'd like to take also some screenshots of
a g-i image which uses MuktiNarrow as suggested by Jamil (not tonight).
I guess it's up to you to choose which font to use.

IMO option 2 or 3; option three would probably be the bes in the long term.
Don't know if it's doable, but I think it would be nice if we had an udeb for each
of the groups listed in [5].
