Hey, this is the Internet. Come on.
I have Unitype Global Writer and Global Office. Both include Bengali
(and many other) fonts and keyboards. Global Writer is a standalone
word processor, and Global Office lets you type Bengali into any
Microsoft Office application under Windows 95 or later. Bengali
ligatures and vowel placement are handled quite reasonably, at least
to my somewhat ignorant eye. (I know Devanagari much better.) See
The first of several hundred hits that Google turned up for (Bengali
font Macintosh) was

which offers

including Bengali fonts for Mac and Windows.
Similarly, I got more than 300 hits for (Bengali font Unix) and about
200 for (bengali keyboard unix), including
