Noto Sans Tirhuta and Noto Sans Bengali fonts need knots #2

Defect Report

Lack of knots in the Tirhuta and Bengali Noto Sans fonts is not just wrong but also misleading learners. As a teacher, I am tired of telling learners not to trust the Google noto font for Assamese/Bengali and Tirhuta. I addressed this issue in 2017, but the developers didn't care amd even made another wrong font, Noto Sans Tirhuta. But weirdly they didn't do the same for many other fonts like Noto Sans Modi where knots are correctly added.

The ends should be connected in ma and na in both tirhuta and bengali. That's the main difference between tirhuta na and la. picsart_01-11-01 48 45
