Yes it does. Run in Terminal sudo apt-get install ttf-bengali-fonts

This site uses some kind of proprietary rendering thing and proprietary font, I presume. I have a fully working Bangla system on my machine. Still I can't see Bangla. And the webpage does not have any 'font link', at least I could not find it. Or, could try to install it and run. The Ubuntu (both Edgy and Feisty) OS has excellent Bangla support, even the tweaked firefox displays Bangla font seamlessly. But, that does not mean it can display any page with proprietary rendering or font. You may try to mail the email id given near the top of the page you referred to about the font and all.

Here's how you get it to work:
1. Download and install this https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419
2. Now should see a firefox sign on the bottom-rifght. Click it and it will change the rendering engine to IE

Can you help with this problem?
