Khmer unicode pdf report rendering

Asked by Vannak

Hi everyone, I've got 2 questions to ask here.

1. I'm pretty new to schooltool. I've set everything up and running, but bumped into this problem of rendering Khmer script in pdf report. By reading previous questions, I made some progress from square boxes to some recognizable texts, but not all of of the scripts. I've changed several fonts including fonts that work well with CS3 or CS6 and so forth. Any comments/solutions are appreciated.

2. I managed to have the language selector appear on the top right corner of the screen, but couldn't figured out how to have en replacing by "English" and km replacing by either "Khmer" or "ខ្មែរ" in native language.

We will be printing report out soon, so I'm hoping if someone could help me in this regard.

Thanks and appreciate this fantastic open source software.

PS: I'm running Schooltool 2.8.5, and Ubuntu server 14.04

Yes, I read extensively, but there's nothing to do with pdf report rending issues.

Regarding 1., we don't have any insight, I'm afraid.

Regarding 2, do you mean the selector works aside from having an unclear label?

Thanks Tom for your response.
#1 I think other people who use complex script or Unicode such as Chinese or Korean should encounter the same issue, so any insight would be helpful. I also read somewhere that one of the developers used to dealt on this very issue regarding Khmer.

#2, I can click on icons to switch between the 2 languages (English, and Khmer), but the lebels for selecting is showing "km" instead of "Khmer" or even better as in "ខ្មែរ", when I inspected the element I saw a login.html that I can use to change the lebels from km to Khmer, but I couldn't find it in the source code.

Hope this makes sense to you.

Thanks for all the help.
