Created attachment 89907 [details] KhmerOS Font Need someone to add the attached tarballs to the http://dev-www.libreoffice.org/src/ folder. Will submit changes to gerrit myself for the external/more_fonts/* folder myself. Thanks!
Created attachment 89908 [details] DroidSans
Created attachment 89909 [details] Mittaphab Font
URLs for Packages: SIL OFL Mittaphap Font http://hg.palaso.org/font-lao2 Google Droid Sans Font https://www.google.com/fonts#UsePlace:use/Collection:Droid+Sans Open Institute of Cambodia Khmer OS Font http://sourceforge.net/projects/khmer/files/Fonts%20-%20KhmerOS/KhmerOS%20Fonts%204.0-%20LGPL%20License/
That is a bad idea. Windows version does not allow selection of fonts to be installed, so there will be cluttering the user systems with that junk.
I do not find license information or a package download at http://hg.palaso.org/font-lao2 There's only .gdl files and a wscript that seems to generate the font file from those and mentions license=OFL.txt but there is no OFL.txt Apparently that is http://scripts.sil.org/OFL as http://palaso.org/ mentions partnership with SIL. At least we would have to include that license in our 3rd party licenses. Download from https://www.google.com/fonts#UsePlace:use/Collection:Droid+Sans results in a .zip including an accompanying ALv2. http://sourceforge.net/projects/khmer/files/Fonts%20-%20KhmerOS/ (they do have 5.0 that apparently supersedes 4.0) is LGPLv2.
Eike Rathke, the problem with Mittaphap, and all other open source fonts for Lao I've found so far, is that they only have the license info or references to the license in the font file itself, and not in a separate file. I know legally this is problematic if the license isn't clear. The Dhyana font on http://www.google.com/fonts/earlyaccess may be a better option in that regard since it seems the license may be more clear. I believe, however, that Mittaphap is the next version of Dhyana, so Mittaphap will be more up-to-date,unless I am mistaken. There's also Phetsarath OT (the Lao government standard font). So, Mittaphap is not the only option. Sorry, I didn't notice the version 5 of Khmer OS. Thanks for catching that! Urmas, I can respect the fact that you don't not want extra fonts that you will neither use, nor will even be installed. I wouldn't want what I feel like is a bunch of bloat on my computer either, especially if it's not the language I speak. Your thoughts and suggestions on the matter are welcome. I hope my proactiveness hasn't come off pushy - that's not my goal. I'm new to contributing to LibreOffice and to programming in C++ in general. My hope is that Laos, as well as Thailand, Cambodia, and Myanmar can have better access to technology via LibreOffice.

There now are Noto variants (both Sans and Serif) for all three of these CTL scripts. The Noto serif and sans for Lao are already bundled. At this point, Noto seems a better fit for Thai and Khmer font support in LibreOffice, they offer appropriate license and font maintenance. @Khaled?
