Formerly, a small group of Khmer, Khmer-American and American folks were met on the Internet to discuss about the possiblity of using Khmer language for email, homepage etc. From that point on, we looked at the commercial Khmer fonts available in market. different font foundry assigned same Khmer character with different code. The ASCII characters are replaced by the Khmer alphabet according to its sound. With this type of arrangement, extensive sort algorithm will be needed if ones want to sort Khmer words in the right order such as the order used in the dictionary. We also looked at the requirement by Netscape to find a way to use Khmer characters in its documents. We've found that english language is still needed in order to read the title, the articles listing and command. Micrsoft Windows 3.xx and Win95

Other platforms
We have tested the above program on a NT machine, but the KEYDLL will not work . It needs to be modified to WIN32 DLL. Linux is most likely will be the next target machine to have Khmer font and keyboard binding. [Some work has already been done on the X-Side, a similar font was converted successfully. As soon as they convert this font I will make it available. -EGG 12/3] On the Mac side, Earle and Hann are working on the font conversion process. [I have converted the fonts to Mac, they appear to be functioning correctly, but I lack the facilites to test them. Let me know if anything doesn't work. -EGG 12/3]Use and Notes
This particular font is to be regarded as a pre-release (beta) version. The Khek brother's will soon provide us with a professional version that will replace this one.You will need to load these fonts into your system. If you do not know how to do this look in your systems manual. After you do this then to view things that use this Khmer font you will need to change the default fonts in your Web (e-mail/news/telnet) programs. Now the method for doing this is different for each program, but you can usually find the settings in a menu that is called 'Fonts', 'Options', or 'Preferences'. There are two different fonts, a fixed with and a proportional (varying) width. In general most programs that deal width the Internet are fixed width, so this will probably be the one you use the most. Web browsers use both though, so you should probably set both fonts. If you are unsure if it is fixed with or proportional then make two lines, one with 20 'i's, and onw with 20 'W's, if each letter lines up then it is fixed, otherwise if the 'i's are shorter than the 'W's it it proportional.
Once you set the font, then when you view something that uses this Khmer font then you will see Khmer writing. Depending on the font you use you will always see Khmer numbers or Arabic numbers (see below for more details), but other than that most things will still look like English. Occasionally though you may see a Khmer character popping up in a middle of a word, this will usually happen if you are looking at something in an European language (like French). You are probably seeing an accented character, if you want to see the correct character all you have to do is to switch the font back to its original setting.
To type if you are using MS-Windows you can use the Keymap program, and once you get used to it things go very smoothly. We do not currently have a facility to help with typing on the Mac. If you are interested in writing one, pleas send us mail.
Code Assignment
With several emails, we came to the conclusion that we would like to preserve the ASCII code for english character and use the code above 127 for Khmer alphabets. Unlike english or french or spanish, a majority of Khmer words are written in diacritic forms. Each consonant, except two of them in the Khmer has two forms, depending of its position in a given word. A few compound vowels have one sign in front and others after or on top of the consonant(s). Also, each consonant has its own width to make the written looks neat. This is not new in the available Khmer font. The font designer is well aware of this kind of complexity. Most of the hard work had already done by those Khmer font designer. Our task is to make a new arragement and preserve the english alphabets. Fortunately, we have barely enough codes above 127 to assign all the Khmer alphabets, including the signs. We made the arrangement such that all consonants, vowels are as close as possible to their natural order. However, it is impossible to have such arragnement for those true compound vowels. Th compound vowel is made of two or three other vowel. Therefore, no code is needed to assign it to each one of those vowels. There is another hidden fact that we've described so far. Actually, we were lack of 9 codes for the Khmer number 1-9. A compromise must be made and two seperate fonts are used: one with arabic and one with Khmer number 1-9.Font and Font Foundry
Once we have assigned all the codes to the Khmer alphabets, we've started looking to design our own font. A copy of Fontographer 3.52 for MS Windows was bought to do the job. Two people in our group had tried and realized that font design is not an easy job. It is indeed very time consuming and one must possesses a good artistic skill.After two months, we gave up and try to convince the Khmer font foundy for their contribution. Fornuately, Hann So has some relationship with one of the Khmer font foundry, the Khek's brothers. After several emails using Hann as middle man, Khek's brother make a generous offer by donating one of their Khmer font to be modified with the new code arrangement.
