How to changing default Khmer Unicode Font in Ubuntu
In Ubuntu 10.10 release cycle ttf-khmeros version 5.0.3 was included. However the only problem I had with Chrome. Later on I was told that the fix is by trying various font until we find the one that work properly.
So the idea is to change default Khmer Unicode font so let see how we do it:
sudo gedit /etc/fonts/conf.d/65-khmer.conf
you can replace <family>Khmer OS</family> with <family>Khmer_Unicode_Font_Of_Your_Choice</family> or if you do not want to touch the line you can just add another line on top like this:
<family>Khmer_Unicode_Font_Of_Your_Choice</family> <family>Khmer OS</family>
next step issue the following command to update font package:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure ttf-khmeros
logout and log back in again.
Thanks @rithy for sharing this technique.

the conf file number is changed. I guess, in ubuntu 10.04, the conf file was 64-…, now in kubuntu 11.04, it’s 90-ttf-devanagari-fonts.conf
