Three Effective ways to have Khmer enabled web

6 years ago [year 1999], Internet was something most cambodian never thought or know about. Now, I would consider Internet is an indispensable tool for some of us, young, adult and old folk. With this techonology, it has help us in many ways i.e. research on our assignment, find out about our curiousity, or even to entertain ourselve.

However, this method requires the viewers' PC to have khmer unicode fonts installed. Hopefully, in the future, khmer unicode will become a standard where every PC does not have to have the khmer unicode fonts to view the site. [Read more at http://www.khmeros.info/drupal/.]
