Typing Bengali
The editor has a built in Bengali keyboard: press the अ/A button while editing and type Bengali letters by clicking, next to your normal keyboard. Characters to check after editing: ক্ষ, জ্ঞ, ৎ.
Which font new Bengali text uses
First the font your PDF already uses for Bengali, even when only a few of its letters are embedded: MythosPDF loads the complete font and sets new letters in it. If the PDF has no Bengali font at all, it asks before adding an open Noto font for those letters, and tells you it did. Bengali is a shaped script, so each word is shaped with the full font before it is written, and the real letters are stored so the text stays searchable.

Questions people ask
+Can I use Roman numerals for the front matter?
Not yet. Arabic numbers are supported.
+My university requires PDF/A. Can you convert?
Not yet. Most thesis tools and word processors can export PDF/A directly.
+Can I write parts of the thesis in Bengali and parts in English?
Yes. Each language is set in the font the PDF uses for it, so a bilingual thesis keeps both fonts.
