I am trying to create a design with Maputnik with a custom vector layer. When I am trying to label in Bengali language the font broken. If you see the output in the image there are few problem. I am writing here how it should look like

মুন্সিগঞ্জ গোপালগঞ্জ ঝিনাইদহ যশোহর

Few years ago the same problem occurred in Tilemill. A library called Herfbuzz were used to solve that problem. But How can I render this with client-side visualization?

Here is the Tilemill solution link

Hi @azizul-bkash,

Maputnik is a visual editor for the Mapbox GL styles and uses Mapbox GL JS as renderer for the map.

I think you linked the relevant issues there.

From https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/issues/5926#issuecomment-354667820

It's not currently supported, unfortunately. Tracking this in #4009.

Closing here, as there's nothing we can do on Maputnik side to fix this problem
