Khmer and Lao fonts need special characters for OpenType layout

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

Some Khmer fonts have ZWSP while others have ZWJ, ZWNJ. Still others have 
U+250C but most Khmer fonts do not U+250C (dotted circle). 

All fonts should have U+250C to represent a stand-alone combining mark. 

According to the following references, ZWJ, ZWNJ and ZWSP have to be present in 
Khmer fonts in addition to U+250C.

I just added a test for this in the tools. I'll see if I can borrow the glyphs 
from another noto font that has them.
