New Khmer Font for OS X

Thanks to Danh Hong a new font for reading/writing Khmer script in OS X is available hereor here. You can find related info in my earlier article.

I encourage readers to give the new font a try and let us know if you find any issues. I'm told it will also work right in Word 2008 for Mac if you set the 'enable all ligatures' option under Format/Font/Advanced.

Can't download the font right now. I get "Error establishing a database connection" when I try to download it.

I can download the fonts--Thanks! But when I try to type the "jeung" letters it doesn't do it right. This is no problem with XenoType Khmer font but is a problem for all the other fonts..Any advice?

Harry -- I think you'll have to ask the fellow who made the font directly, I don't know enough about khmer to test it.
