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.
