I think, you got it. Problem is with most Indic and Arabic languages.
Please note that most of these fonts carry GPOS and GSUB tables. Font tables also have information
related to substitution of glyph combinations with a different glyph.
Refer: http://fontforge.github.io/gposgsub.html

Thanks, now I got it. The problem isn't particularly related to
Bengali, but rather to combining characters in general, which are
not supported by imagettftext().

A direct browser based text to image:
http://utils.net/caption/fidd-utf8:hi_in/fid-r/cn-1/fidd-utf8:hi_in/t-AnyHindiUnicodeStringHere
On every reload, it will use a random hindi unicode capable code.
For any other language change utf8:hi_in to
utf8:<2letter_language_code>_<2_letter_country_code>

Please refer http://unicode.org/faq/indic.html#17
This will provide you enough information on how 'virama' combinations should be rendered.
I could provide any supporting information you may need.
