No support for Cambodian script [Ticket In]

Not sure if this is a bug report or feature request.

Latest version of Roon.
MacOS 10.15.7

Not sure if this is helpful, but in ARC on Android it works for me. I can’t try in Roon because currently not at home, but could check later

Interesting. It works for me on ARC too.

It fails for me in proper Roon just like for you, also macOS, current Ventura 13.5.2
As it works in ARC, I would argue that this is a bug. In particular if we believe this web page,

which says that …

All Mac with OS X is built with Khmer Unicode ready; meaning that, you can write and read in Khmer without install Khmer font in your system.

I am not sure if Roon uses system fonts, but arguably it should work if it runs on a system that provides built-in font support for Khmer and if there is content in Roon using this language.

On the other hand further research finds this:

which is saying apparently the opposite,

Most of the Operation System (OS) such as Windows or macOS, don’t offer enough font Khmer to use, so you will need to download font Khmer Unicode for Mac OS or Windows. If you Cambodian and using Machintosh that running macOS, you will need more Khmer font to use in your word document or any design project. There a lot of Khmer font publisher that provides free font Khmer Unicode for free such as, Google font, and Mr. Danh Hong.

Yet again, Khmer renders correctly out of the box in my Safari, e.g. https://mfaic.gov.kh/ looks like this:

Hi everyone,

Thank you for the flag. We’ve created a ticket for our QA team to investigate.
