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.Using Microsoft hook function, user can also use the describe method to enter the english and Khmer character into any windows assuming that KEYBIND is still running in the background.
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.
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.
