Graphich Designing Software

The localization team of KhmerOS is now trying to test and get detail information about some graphic designing and desktop publishing software such as GIMP, Inkscape, Scribus and Quarkexpress. What we want to do in those applications are: - To understand the current status of Khmer Unicode support - To determine the problem of using Khmer Unicode - To solve the problem by discussing among our team and other people - To understand what need to be done to have those software translated Inkscape is an Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities similar to Illustrator, Freehand, CorelDraw, or Xara X using the W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format. Scribus is an Open Source desktop publishing software similar to Quarkexpress. The problem about Khmer Unicode rendering in Scribus is already submitted by Jens at http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=2920. GIMP is an GNU Image Manipulation Program similar to Adobe Photoshop. There is only a few problem. It does not work with the keys that produce two unicode characters but we can type the two components individually (e.g. ោ‍ះ can be typed as ោ​ះ). The translation of this program is almost finished (needs thoroughly checking). GIMP, Inkscape and Scribus, can be run on Linux, Max OS X and Windows. For Quarkexpress, since it's not the open source software so we can not do much with it. What we can do is submit the request to Quark company to support Khmer Unicode (as mentioned by Nathan at http://www.khmeros.info/drupal/?q=km/node/639). You can help by testing the program and report here what you have found. Yes of cause, using the program once it is done is also considered as *helping* :-)

Adobe InDesign

I used to use Quark a lot - lot better than PageMaker, which was the only real rival at the time. Now I prefer InDesign - mainly because I bought a real copy (much cheaper than Quark)and its XML import and formatting abilities. Even without the cost factor I think I would use it in preference to Quark. Don Robertson

Gimp on Linux

Gimp is a graphich design software that great with Khmer Unicode test on Lunix Operating System. But there are some problem with vowel only. we can not type some of vowel below. - ាំ​, ុំ , ោះ, ុះ, េះ

Khmer or GIMP ?

I am currently using the GIMP image manipulation tool on Linux. However I did try the new Adobe Indesign image manipulation tool once on my windows platform.It was good. But personally I have always remained a fan of open source since its arrival. It always fascinated me & is still doing the same with much greater power as more new agencies are continuously adopting and contributing to this cause. I would like to know more about Khmer Software Initiative. Is it too open-source? When is its updated version expected to arrive? Any details would be greatly appreciated. Regards Jack Lawson

You can notice that Khmer

You can notice that Khmer consonants have three different width, the short (រ វ), medium (ក ខ...) and wide (ស ហ...). Inscape seem to have problem with the wide-width consonants.

I tried out Inkscape - it

I tried out Inkscape - it lets me see Khmer Unicode, and for the most part renders it correctly. Just some of the top vowels don't show up right (they get placed a few spaces back from where they should be). It is open source, so what should we do? -Nathan

GIMP seems to work great on

GIMP seems to work great on my Windows XP system. The only problem is, when I type in Khmer Unicode I can't tell what I am typing (it is because the font in the input box is not a Khmer Unicode font) but I just get around that by typing in notepad and then pasting it into the GIMP input box. Once typed, it shows up perfect in the image. -Nathan
