Description

Font: [Google Sans](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Google+Sans)
Several conjunct characters of Bengali glyph don't render properly.

Significant baseline misalignment observed in multiple Bengali conjunct characters (যুক্তবর্ণ). The conjunct glyphs are rendered with a positive vertical offset (appearing higher) compared to the preceding characters in the word.

**To Reproduce**
Set Google Sans as default font in chrome from settings, customize fonts. Visit a website where Bengali language is used. Example [ভারত - উইকিপিডিয়া](https://bn.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%A4). Observe several misalignment in characters.

**Expected behavior**
No misalignment.
