Questions tagged [southeast-asian-languages]

Languages of Southeast Asia present a set of unique problems. Most require complex script support and have their own writing systems. Most don't use spaces between words, or use spaces between every syllable instead. Specifically: Burmese (Myanmar), Khmer (Cambodian), Lao, Thai, and Vietnamese.

Web Font Resources

Google has a little known resource called Early Access fonts which is accessible from the "More scripts" hyperlink on the upper right side of the page on the typical Google Fonts webpage.

As of 09/2014 numerous web-fonts are available in the Early Access resource offering support for the following languages:

Hebrew      Lao       Ethiopic   Tamil      Thai      Korean
Arabic      Bengali   Hindi      Myanmar    Armenian  Cherokee
Georgian    Gujarati  Gurmukhi   Japanese    Kannada   Khmer
Malayalam   Osmanya   Telugu     Chinese (traditional)

Using a Khmer Google Web Font

<link rel=stylesheet href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Suwannaphum">
<p style="font-family: Suwannaphum,DaunPenh,Code2000;font-size:130%;">ខ្ញុំអាចញ៉ាំកញ្ចក់បាន ដោយគ្មានបញ្ហា</p>
