Put \XeTeXtracingfonts=1 in your document and call in on the command

This should give you more informations about the fonts used by xetex
(in the log) and xdvipdfmx.
OK, I've done that. Unfortunately, it doesn't tell me much... I get
some msgs like
----------
pdf_font>> Input encoding "Identity-H" requires at least 2 bytes.
pdf_font>> The -m <00> option will be assumed for
"/usr/share/fonts/bengali/lohit_bn.ttf".
---------
But those msgs happen with both the working font (as above) and the
non-working fonts. With the non-working fonts, I also get:
---------
** WARNING ** Embedding of font
"/groups/opt/share/fonts/Rupali_01-02-2007.ttf" disabled due to license
restrictions
---------
But my understanding is that this msg just refers to embedding of the
entire font, and shouldn't affect the appearance of the PDF.
The non-working fonts also have a few msgs like:
---------
** WARNING ** No Unicode mapping for glyph name "bn" found.
No Unicode mapping available: GID=132, name=bn_initekaar
---------
I'm not sure what this means, but it only happens for three glyphs, so I
wouldn't think it would explain why the entire Bengali text comes out
looking like badly formatted roman.
I will attach the entire listing of output msgs below my signature.
(A minimal example would be useful as it would reduce the amount of
informations).
Follows:
---------
\documentclass[]{report}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\XeTeXtracingfonts=1 %Suggested by Ulrike Fischer
%Bengali script:
%\newfontinstance\bengalifont[Script=Bengali]{Lohit Bengali}
\newfontinstance\bengalifont[Script=Bengali]{Rupali}
%\newfontinstance\bengalifont[Script=Bengali]{SolaimanLipi}
\newcommand{\bengali}[1]{{\bengalifont #1}}
\begin{document}
\bengali{রহিম্ কে ডাক্ বো}
\end{document}
---------
There are three fonts in there, two commented out. The Lohit Bengali
font (which comes with at least Red Hat) works; the Rupali and
SolaimanLipi fonts both output roman glyphs formatted (I think) as if it
were Bengali glyphs. They're different roman glyphs in the two instances.
