🛠️ Defect Report: Mispositioning of U-Kar ("ু") in Bold/Thin Styles of Noto Sans Bengali in Microsoft Excel
Issue Summary:
While using the Noto Sans Bengali (Noto Sen Bangla) font in Microsoft Excel, I encountered a rendering issue. When the font is used in Regular style, the vowel sign "ু" (U-kar) appears correctly below its associated consonant. However, when switching to Bold or Thin styles, the "ু" shifts approximately three characters to the left, distorting the word and making it visually and semantically incorrect.
Test Results:
| Font Style | Text (in Excel) | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Regular | দুপুরের কাজ | Renders correctly |
| Bold/Thin | দুপুরের কাজ | The "ু" appears misaligned (shifted left) |
