Anyone know how to get a Khmer font (Limon, Kh Battambang, etc) to work on Mac, then be able to send to Windows and not change formatting?
Tried, changing keyboard input in Settings, downloaded two versions of Khmer OS but cant get the fonts to type correctly.

What application are you using?

OpenOffice and LibreOffice both run on MAC. They both have KhmerOS language packs.

It might also be possible to install fonts by install 'apt' on your system and installing some Linux utilities

If you're still stuck use a virtual machine.

Thanks. Use Word on Mac. Have installed Khmer OS. The problem is the formatting change when moving to a Windows PC. PDF is the only way to retain it. Will try OO.

If you have Khmer OS (and same version of it) on both systems it *should* transfer correctly as the same font set is used.

I know it works between Linux and Windows using OO. Best of luck.
