I had a lot of problems with the emergence of Khmer fonts (script indication in Cambodia) for reliable rendering on the Internet on different platforms (Mac, Windows, Linux).
Google web fonts recently added Khmer , which seems like the best choice. However, I was not able to get Khmer fonts to work with any Mac or Linux system. I can get them to work on Windows by installing the Khmer Unicode installer from http://khmeros.info , but not just by including the Google font in the HTML file.
For example, see this screenshot on the Google Web Fonts page for a new Windows installation. You can see that the default Windows Khmer font (uuuuugly!) Is used instead of good Danh fonts.
I have another test file: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/634/khmer_test.html . For the first test, you should see something like this for both the web font and the system default font (assuming you have Hanuman installed). I have yet to find a system in which both examples work reliably.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. My main goal is to get this to work on the website; the secondary goal is to get Khmer (and other indexes) that work in a PDF generator, for example iText (although I know that iText itself does not support Font Index - I hope it does something similar).
