We'll be typesetting some Bangla (Bengali script) text in June, which afaik is
before the TeXLive 2014 comes out.
1) Do you happen to know whether the 2013 version's bugs break Bangla?
I suppose that's an unanswerable question, since it probably depends on the
exact font we'll be using, and maybe the 2013 version hasn't been tested with
Bangla anyway. So:
2) I assume this:
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/HarfBuzz/
is where I should go for the latest HarfBuzz (at the moment, the 30 Jan 2014
release),
correct? And that I don't need to install any revised version of anything
else from
TeXLive 2013.
