Automated Font Install for Windows NT/2000/XP
http://unicode.khmer.cc/khmersetup.exe


For manual install:

Here are a few things needed to get it running.

Step 1
Download;

http://members.rogers.com/linchear/usp10.dll

or

http://www.khmercivil.com/unicode/soft/usp10.dll

Place this in your
C:/Program Files/Internet Explorer
directory

and also to
C:/Windows/System (for Win98 users)

C:/Windows/System32 (for XP/NT/2000 users)

Step 2
Install these WinXP/2000 Drivers.
http://www.cfcambodge.org/khmerfont/khuQwNt.exe


or Win95/98
http://www.cfcambodge.org/KhmerFont/Khaz95.exe
Step 3
Install the fonts that are in C:/Program Files/KhmerFonts
(Control Panel -> Fonts -> Install New Fonts)
- it will say that it's already installed. Ignore this.

Reboot, and you should be ready to go. (WinXP doesn't require a reboot)

Finalize
Once that's all set up visit this page:

http://www.cfcambodge.org/KhmerUnicodFont.htm

This will test out your unicode.

You should now be able to enter Khmer (on IE and Word) and read khmer unicode fonts in your browser..

Here is a KC thread to test Unicode out:
http://www.khmer.cc/community/t.c?b=16&t=908


Entering Khmer Text

Windows XP/2000/NT Users
First you must set up your computer for Khmer input.

Here are the steps for Microsoft Windows XP

Control Panel
Region and Language Options
Languages tab
click on "Details'
click the "Add" button
under Input Languages choose "Catalan"
under "Keyboard layout/IME" select "Khmer Unicode"

Click on OK on all the screens until you are out of the dialog.

You will notice a little blue box with 'EN' or 'CA' in the lower right hand corner of your task bar.

Press Left-Alt + Shift to switch between the two languages. The icon in the task bar will reflect the change.

For more information on the keyboard layout, consult the PDF in your C:/Program Files/KhmerFonts directory.
Windows 95, 98 and ME Users
http://www.tavultesoft.com/keyman/support/FAQ002.php
Windows 95, 98 and Me all have very limited Unicode support. Keyman improves on this support by including the WM_UNICHAR message which allows conformant applications, such as the new RichEdit control Microsoft is including with Office XP, to accept Unicode input in Windows 95/98. However, unless specifically stated, it is unlikely that you will be able to use Unicode to its full potential on these operating systems. There is no system support for supplementary planes.

In other words, upgrade to Windows 2000/NT/XP in order to get full Unicode entry-support under Windows.

If you're still having trouble (or just plain lazy), page me and I can provide you with an automated installer.

That's good that it works.

Yes, KC converts the & into &amp. Therefore it shows the &#6000&#6003 etc codes.

But, if the conversion is removed, then you will be able to read them fine by default on KC. (A simple example is my KC homepage).

The keyboard entry works well. The secret is using the COENG (~ tilde) key to rearrange the pre-scripts.

In the Khmer Unicode keyboard drivers, type in S COENG (~) R and you'll see what I mean.

If you still have problems. Download the above program. It's in French. But just ok through the screen

There will be a .TTF (true type font) in
C:/Program Files/KhmerFonts

Install that font and all will be well. If you have problems feel free to ask.


Once that's all set up visit this page:

http://www.cfcambodge.org/KhmerUnicodFont.htm

This will test out your unicode.

KC officially supports Khmer Unicode.

YEAH! I see it on the forum.


Thai:���� ��� Khmer: តារា គែសិ
Why is the Khmer font so tiny? I typed Aksar Kor and it looks like Por. Like in Preah.
Hmm. Something wrong with the thai..It doesn't show up correctly..

Yes. They are a bit on the tiny side. And sorry, Khmer Connection does not support Thai

We're working on making them larger, and making KC Khmer friendly (go figure) as much as possible.

Man... I installed everything and still can't see it. i see squares still... Hmmm, maybe I restarted more than once?

Install your fonts as outlined in step 3. It is a .TTF file.

LOL... now it works after I was thinking about reformat the whole system... haha... it scared.

Hmmm, but how do you type it? I don't know what's "Miniscule", "MAJ", "AltGr", "AltGr+MAJ" ????

From the layout...
First I thought "AltGr" was "shift" because at "T" the normal type was "Tor" and "shift + T" was "Tur". BUT, at number one key, "Shift" is "MAJ"... Now I don't understand... ::

Help... Please...

Type Bor then Srak Ah. It should should convert things.

To get some other characters, you'll need to type the COENG

Point_Dexter: Yes, this is official and standardized.

What about the keyboard layout? Is this the standardized keyboard?
