Pravin,
We got confused while renaming the package names for Indic fonts when
we see two different fonts for Assamese and Bengali - lohit-as
lohit-bn
Both uses Bengali, so how the font differs? I know two three character
diffrences, but normally included in bengali font itself. Same is the
case for devanagari- lohit-hi and lohit-ks

We have stopped releasing Lohit-hindi, Lohit-Kashmiri long time back, since all of these fonts were identical.
 

Could you please explain?

Yes, Bengali and Assamese language uses same script bengali, only difference is Ra character.
Assamese uses U+09F0 and Bengali uses U+09B0

We can easily handle that in font but AFAIK presently only pango support lang tag.  Lang tag is supported in harfbuzz-ng as well so once we will have standardize OTLE we can definitely stop shipping Lohit-Assamese and keep only Lohit Bengali.

Regards,
Pravin Satpute
