Khmer Software Initiative

Microsoft has included Khmer Unicode font in their new OS, Windows Vista and Windows 7. However, DaunPenh and Dokchampa, Khmer Unicode font, is too small to read. KhmerOS has created many of Khmer Unicode fonts designed by Mr. Danh Hong in an effort to provide a better Khmer Unicode UI font. Among those fonts, we strongly recommend you to use "Khmer OS System" font as default Khmer Unicode font for your Windows Operating System (OS).
