[HarfBuzz] Positioning of Chandribindu character in Bengali text

[Peter Hunter]

G'day all
I am using Harfbuzz (not ng) to layout Bengali text

The Chandrabindu character (Bengali U+981) at the start of a line is positioned by Harfbuzz above the Unicode character dotted circle  (U+25cc)

My users tell me that the Chandrabindu character " is used at the beginning of a line to denote the bengali "Iswar" (Late) word.
So, it is usually used as the first character before a name of a person, who is dead".

and should not be positioned over the dotted circle  in printed/wysiwyg output (but should be for text mode)

I can accommodate their wishes for my purposes, but is this something that should be considered for harfbuzz-ng ?
