The package KhmerOS-fonts-5.0-72.1.noarch.rpm is on
the GoldMaster openSUSE-11.0-DVD-x86_64.iso.
But, unless you select Khmer at least as a secondary language during
the installation, support for Khmer will not be installed. I.e. this
font package will not be installed either.
The reason that the other languages work that they can be displayed
already with the set of fonts which is installed by default.
The dejavu font package already supports quite a few languages based
on alphabets, in addition to from Latin based languages also Cyrillic,
Hebrew, ... and even Arabic. But dejavu doesn’t contain Khmer (and
none of the Indic languages and no Thai either ...). Therefore,
special font packages are needed for these languages which are not
installed by default. In my opinion that is not nice because it causes
such problems as you reported. Windows Vista apparently installs
around 350 Megabytes of fonts by default, I cannot really understand
why we are so reluctant to install a reasonably complete set of fonts
by default.
Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK), can usually be displayed becaue
the efont-unicode package of bitmap fonts is installed by default
and supports these languages. This may not look very beautiful
but it is better than nothing.
This bug is a duplicate of an earlier bug.
