Khmer Software Initiative

Java finally works in Khmer Unicode!! The latest release of Java 6 is finally able to display Khmer Unicode correctly. The effort to ensure that Java can display Khmer Unicode started in 2004, and it has taken over two years for it to finally reach the official release. The Java 6 Runtime Environment (for individual users), or develelopment tools for Java can be downloaded from: http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp This development opens the way of localising to Khmer programs that are written in Java, such as CMap Tools, FreeMind or SUN's localisation tools.

Hello! Khmeros just created new khmer unicode font called KhmerOSMoulBali . It looks like Bali script written on Slekrit. Now we are testing it and hope that it will be available for download soon. Thanks!

A new version (version 3) of the KhmerOS and KhmerOS System fonts is now available for download. These fonts now have better hinting (they are easier to read on the screen in small sizes) and the vertical space of Khmer OS has been modified, so that all parts of the text are now always visible.

We release Khmer OS Moul. A much needed Moul font (normally used for signs and titles).

We release Khmer OS Fasthand. An even more stylish hand writing font.

We release:

• Khmer OS 2.0, which seems to be quite well adapted for modern Khmer.
• Khmer OS System 2.0, a hinted, not too high font specially designed for menus of applications.
• Khmer OS Freehand. A beautiful hand-writing font that has been modeled after the hand writing found in Franklin Huffman's "Cambodian System of Writing" book.

KhmerOS 1.6 family delivered. KhmerOSSystemC hinted font, with equivalent sizes for Khmer and Latin delivered, working correctly on Windows and Linux.

KhmerOS 1.5 family delivered, with some improvements (available in downloads).

• ZWSP (u200B) included.
• 1 EN SPACE (u2002), 3-per-EM space (2004), 6-to-an-EM (u2006).
• Independent Vowel QAU (u17b3) has been reshaped to difference it from QUUV (u17aa).

Danh Hong announces full KhmerOS family.
