I took a closer look, and found the obvious ;-)
In Bangla, you are allowing around 1/3 of the allocated height for the i-kaars
and the similar "matras".
However, English glyphs in the same font/other font occupy the whole height,
and thus the Bangla fonts seem small.
The solution would be to decrease the ht of the English glyphs to 2/3 of the
original.

Ok, Sagar has no Latin glyphs - will be adding some.

Sub : Reducing processes needed LOST #105
An attempt should be made to reduce number of processes where
ever possible ... example "cat filename | less" is valid but
evokes 2 processes. The same is possible with "less filename",
with only one process evoked.
