Khmer Supplemental Fonts ((free))

When Vanna first saw the new Khmer supplemental fonts, she felt as if a drawer of sunlight had been opened. The letters—long, looping, and proud—arranged themselves on her screen like dancers finding their places. For years she had worked as a typesetter in a small Phnom Penh print shop, coaxing modern Khmer text into thin constraints meant for Roman scripts. Diacritics would crowd, consonant clusters would tilt awkwardly, and a quiet frustration lived in her fingertips.
