for Macintosh

Welcome to LaserCambodian in Unicode for Windows and Macintosh (hereafter LaserCambodianU). This exciting product includes the CambodianLSU™ Unicode-encoded standard classical Cambodian typeface with all consonants, vowels and tone marks used in the modern Khmer language. The font is provided in plain (regular), bold, italic, and bold-italic styles in TrueType® OpenType format for Cambodian (Khmer) and English, plus other west European Latin-1 languages. This means you can type Cambodian and English (etc.) without changing fonts.

The CambodianLSU font is provided in 4 weights (typestyles).

Keyboard support for English and other supported Latin languages is also provided.

LaserCambodian in Unicode for Windows

LaserCambodian in Unicode for Windows provides high-quality, Unicode-encoded Cambodian fonts (described above) in TrueType OpenType format for typing Cambodian (Khmer), plus English and other Latin-1 languages. LaserCambodian in Unicode for Windows includes two keyboard layouts that provide four-characters-per-key input (instead of the normal two) in Windows Vista and XP.

The CambodianLSU keyboard layout is a transliterated (phonetic) keyboard arrangement, with the Cambodian letters matched by sound as far as possible to the US keyboard.

(This includes Microsoft Office 2007 and 2003, and OpenOffice.org 3.0.) The user types a letter, then the accent, and the keyboard software adds the accent, perfectly positioned. This keyboard allows the user to toggle from the CambodianLSU keyboard into the EnglishLS OT keyboard and type English, French, German, Spanish, etc., without changing fonts.
