Kindle for PC: Used the mobi with the font embedded. Rendered correctly though the font looks pretty bad (something wrong with the font weight) and the justified spacing is looking terrible.
Kindle for Mac: Used the same file. Rendered beautifully.
Some observations:
Both the PC and the Mac natively support Bangla. Oh wait, I'll do a test file without the font embedded just for curiosity and post back.
(OT) I know justification is not recommended while formatting a document but it only looks this bad on the Kindle for PC. It looks fairly neat on the other devices I've tested (I mean other epub readers)
It would appear from Doitsu and nasser's tests that the E-Ink variants are rendering correctly even without font embedded.
Should get my 6" Kindle today. Will start testing and get back with results. I don't want to get too hopeful, but it does look like I don't have to worry about rendering issues post K3... and you're right NiLuJe, I'll probably have to forget about earlier models.
I've started a thread requesting folks to test my file and post screenshots of their Kindle Fire. Might need to do something similar for E-Inks... just to be absolutely sure.
I do hope that someday this (and the other threads I've started about Bangla ebooks) will save someone trying to work with other non-latin scripts some amount of frustration.
