Well, it is more of two different fonts than a charmap/character set - there were no standard character sets for Khmer before Unicode as far as I can tell. The ABC and Limon fonts are legacy ASCII fonts that are very much depreciated in favour of the new standard Unicode block. I don't think there is any point spending time trying to get glibc to support them. iconv -l lists lots of things, it doesn't explain any of them, so I've no idea if it supports any fonts, let alone these ones. This is also the case for Burmese/Mon/etc from Burma, except the ASCII fonts are still used because the Burmese Unicode block is not supported anywhere yet. Slowly moving closer tho, hopefully by the etch release. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
