A Monospace Bangla font experiment.

## Notes

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

naming pattern: `SamantarikProto`-`<Mode>``<Width>``<Variant>`-`<Style>`

eg, **SamantarikProto-G75se-Regular.ttf** -> mode G, width 75, variants s and e, style Regular

Each variation applies different cell-counting rules to attempt best display on different terminals or editors.

Modes (cells per cluster):

**B**: N-cell for N-component clusters, except non-spacing marks and ZWJ/ZWNJ count for 0
**C**: 1 cell per cluster regardless of component count
**T**: 1 cell for single letter and 2 cells per cluster
**W**: `min(2, B)` cells per cluster

**(blank)**: clusters centered in its allocated cell range
**s**: spread: each component takes its own cells
**f**: fill: each spacing vowel sign gets half a cell and base gets the rest
**e**: taller (height 115%) for slightly 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.
