All,

After more than a year running happily this project, it is time for me to end it. I hope that the iPhone Khmer Community and others have found useful the information and tools available here.

I hope that it made you happy to be able to write and read khmer on daily basis on your iDevices

I'm a French based in Cambodia since few years now, but it is time for me to move to other countries and new challenges ...

I have been happy to helped as much as I could, I hope that some will continue to develop and support the iDevice khmer community

Regards,

Fab.

PS: I will post tonight on Cydia my last package, the Khmer&Font package for 4.1.x

NB: The font bug in the new font arialuni.ttf is remaining in this version when trying to type more than 32 characters. I couldn't spend more time to try to fix the bug. I still have to work on the khmer keyboard for iPad.

Update 10 September 2010 : Current Package Status

iOS4 Keyboard & Fonts Packages and New Cydia repo will be coming this week-end.

Update 08 September 2010 : Current Package Status

I currently base the new font on the font for Mac OS X created by Mr. Danh Hong.
I got his authorisation to use it in the future package.

I started to ask beta tester to test the current package.

The current issue is with this new font. It seems that the font has issues if more than 32 glyphs are displayed in 1 line. I informed Mr. Danh Hong about this issue.

Hope to release the package soon

Update 26 August 10 : Keyboard iOS 4. Completed.

Font used for the keyboard are based on the glyphs from Khmer OS Sieam Reap which is a Free Font.



Information : It seems that the previous font used in the package was from a copyrighted font.
I then removed the font package from this web site.
I will try to find another font, free, for Mac OS X, in order to adapt it to iPhone.
I will update the progress.

Update 25 August 10 : Cydia Package update for ios4 (4.0, 4.0.1, iPhone 4 ...) update coming soon...

Sorry for answering late to everybody. So far, I was not planning to update the package for iOS4 due to time constraint on my side. Busy with work ;)

But as I do not see yet full package available on other web sites, and as many of you are still waiting to use
your new iPhone with Khmer package...

I then started last week to work on an upgrade of the package.

Everything should be easy updatable by many people on the community. (fonts, fix locale, translation ...)
Except the keyboard. The keyboard is an issue.

But after 3 days of reverse engineering of the iPhone 4 UIKit file. I finally get a working tool to generate keyboards.
Here is the first screenshots results from my iPhone 4.
This layout is for testing purpose. The final layout will follow the same layout as before.
The keyboard is working good so far ...

iPad Status: iPad keyboard follow more less the same logic. I'm today able to generate keyboard for it.
But I still need to work on few things, as the dimension of the keyboard for the iPad are not ok.
