Its great to see your work being made public and collaboration with KhmerOS people :) The font has copyright information saying all rights are reserved. If/when you licence it under the GNU GPL, please read the following: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html#SEC4 And please add the font exception recommended by the FSF: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#FontException > We have to submit revise letter to ISO IEC.

You should also send the locale to the following locale groups: belocs: http://belocs.alioth.debian.org/ file a bug here: http://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?atid=411660&group_id=30650&func=browse cldr: http://www.unicode.org/cldr/ read this: http://www.unicode.org/cldr/filing_bug_reports.html read bugs/file a bug here: http://dev.icu-project.org/cgi-bin/locale-bugs > I've not tested in xfreex6 and xwindows servers.
