Changing default Khmer system fonts on Windows 8.1

Khmer UI was first introduced in Windows Vista and has served since then as the default Khmer fonts for the Windows User Interface.

Khmer UI

Due to the its difficult legibility, the team behind Khmer Unicode (NiDA) introduced Khmer fonts fixer for Windows Vista and Windows 7 (which should also work for Windows 8) in order to replace Khmer UI fonts with Khmer OS Sytem font.

However, in Windows 8, this method doesn't work anymore most likely due to Microsoft's deeper integration of system fonts. In fact, Microsoft has used another font which is actually a combination of three typefaces: Thai, Lao and Khmer. The result font file is called Leelawadee UI (which can be found in the Fonts folder in Windows).

Khmer Fonts for iOS 8

Starting from iOS 8, Apple has integrated Khmer language into its mobile operating system, most likely due to a huge amount of requests from Khmer people led by 4khmeriphone team which has been making Khmer Unicode keyboards and Khmer language available to iOS users since the third generation of iOS. I'm sure this brought joys to all Khmer people from every corner of the world.

And I, an iPhone user turned amateur themer/developer, has initially started making Khmer fonts for the jailbroken iOS 7 because I saw very few Khmer fonts on the iOS platform whereas English fonts for iOS were in the hundreds or maybe thousands. So I decided to make a change. So far, I've modified/made several Khmer fonts for iOS 7 and two Khmer fonts for iOS 7.1.x (since it's gotten harder to port Khmer fonts to iOS on this version due to Apple's change of how the system renders fonts). I hosted all these packages on my MyRepospace repository: http://cydia.myrepospace.com/fidele007
