Bengali isn't considered to be enabled on Windows platforms yet
because Windows doesn't offer sorting, keyboard driver, font,
and so forth. But, some shaping support for Bengali is supposed
to be included in the Uniscribe which ships with W2K, Win XP,
Office XP, et cetera.
Using Uniscribe version 1.407.xxxx.x here, shaping support exists
for Bengali and also Malayalam. Hopefully, shaping support for
these scripts and others, like Khmer, Lao, Myanmar, et cetera,
will be added soon to the mainstream USP10.DLL along with an
upgrade mechanism so the phrase "When the World wants to
talk, it uses Unicode" will become a reality.
Best regards,
James Kass.
