1. Download and install MikTeX 2.7(or later version) from http://miktex.org/.
2. Download and install T
E
Xmaker from http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/.
3. For Unicode Bangla input download and install Avro Keyboard from http://www.omicronlab.com/
Then, download Unicode fonts fromhttp://omicronlab.com/bangla-fonts.html . Especially
the fonts Bangla, Siyam Rupali work very well with LaTeX.
4. Now configure T
E
Xmaker: Select Option>Congure Texmaker
(a) In PdfLaTeXwrite:
xelatex -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex
In pdfviewer write: "C:/path (path in your pc)/reader.exe" /n %.pdf
(b) Now In Quick Build Select: Pdf LaTeX+View PDF

5. Write your document:
(a) Now you have to use fontspeck package. In preamble add:
\usepackage{fontspec}
(b) Now define your fonts: Add
\newcommand{\e}{\normalfont} %Def. for writing in default English font.
\font\b="Bangla:script=beng" at 12 pt
The only drawback with Unicode font is that you can not directly resize Bangla fonts. You have to define it in the
preamble. Usually you need not use a lot of different font sizes and fonts. In case you need to use different font
sizes or fonts define like:
\font\bl="Bangla:script=beng" at 18 pt
This method works not only for Bangla but also but also for any unicode character in general.

I am grateful to Mr. Golam Mortuza Hossain, as I have got the idea that writing Bangla is possible using L
