From the original issue, this was the text you inserted

আমি ভাল ছেলে। জীবন সুন্দর

and this was your screenshot

Running in windows with neovim-qt 0.2.8.


For the same text this is what i get in my Linux system.

nvim-qt-linux

Could this be a font problem? Can you tell us what font you are using? set guifont? should display its name/size.

In your machine meaning is wrong ..some characters are missing ....

set guifont? not showing any output

Try the commands: :set guifont or :GuiFont

I'm not familiar with Bengali. Is it a language that requires font ligatures to render?

Font ligatures are responsible for the behavior when placing two characters (correct terminology?) on the screen changes the rendering of both. CHAR_A + CHAR_B => LIGATURE_C. This is problematic for neovim-qt because we render characters one-by-one in isolation onto the Neovim grid.
