A Monospace Bangla font experiment.

## Notes

> [!WARNING]
> this is a prototype, dont blame me if your display explodes.

naming pattern: `SamantarikProto<Mode><Scale><Variant>-<Weight>`

eg, SamantarikProto-G75se-Regular.ttf -> mode: G, scale: 75, variant: s and e, weight: Regular

Modes:

- **B**: 1 cells per codepoint, consonants and vowels 1, stacked marks and hasant 0
- **C**:	1 cells per cluster
- **W**:	`min(2, B)` cells per cluster
- **G**: `B` cells per cluster, `W` cells display
- **T**: `min(max(2, B), 2)` cells per cluster
- **U**: 2 cells per cluster

Variants:

- (blank): centered: shaped cluster centered on cells
- **s**: spread: cluster components spread out over cells
- **f**: fill: cluster widened to fill cells
- **e**: extended x-height for (sliightly) better balance with latin text

**C** seems to work best so far with kitty and neovim (vim doesnt like any of these).

Editing is often broken. Issues and suggestions always welcome.
