Problem rendering Khmer fonts

[Ewa55]

While generating a pdf file in Khmer some of the text is not showing properly. Some characters are swapped. I have used many Khmer fonts, same error every time.

I used the following fonts:

• Angkor
• Hanuman
• Khmer
• Khmer-Regular
• Khmer-busra
• KhmerOS
• KhmerOSsiemreap
• Khmerschool
• KohSantepheap
• NotoSansKhmerui
• NotoSerifKhmer
• Siemreap

In khmer_names.txt you can see the font typed correctly khmer_names.txt in khme.pdf file you will see font rendering issues khmer_names.pdf

I will be grateful for any instructions on solving this problem.

$pdf->AddPage();

$text = file_get_contents('khmer_names.txt', false);

$pdf->setTextColor(0, 63, 127);

$pdf->Write(5, $text, '', 0, '', false, 0, false, false, 0);

$pdf->Output('khmer_names.pdf', 'I'); $doc = $pdf->getPDFData(); file_put_contents(OUTPUT_FILE, $doc);

Hi @nicolaasuni

I understand you are the maintainer of the TCPDF libraries . Are you available for hire to fix what Ewa55 has described for Khmer language?

Many thanks for your attention

Hi, I have new similar problem with Nepali. The Nepali language, like Khmer, is written in the Devanagari script.
