Please let him know that the Bangla issue is not fixed yet in 
freefont-ttf-20051206.tar.gz. I fixed it in my end, but didn't uploaded 
it. I sent it to the core developers for CVS submissions. I believe it 
will be uploaded after other Indic scripts goes into it properly. So it 
would be better to wait a few more days.

Anirban Da, told us to stay with Ekushey's MuktiNarrow. Did you informed 
him about it? The latest MuktiNarrow can be found from 
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ekushey/MuktiNarrow_11-08-2005.ttf?download

I think staying with FreeFonts would be better.
