Hi Robert,
We discussed fonts not too long ago [1].
We decided against Droid Sans, as it doesn't offer an Italic variant.
I don't think we could offer Khmer, as the MPL, which LibreOffice is
licensed under, is more permissive than the LGPL. I'm not sure, though.
As for Mittaphap, I haven't heard of it. Could you describe it a bit
more, similar to the way fonts are described at
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Wishlists/Fonts? Is it a
good font typographically?

I'm thinking we should bundle Noto Sans [2] and Noto Serif [3],
though, as those have the goal of covering all of Unicode.

Thoughts?

Just looked at the source of Noto, and that reccomendation has some
potential - they reportedly cover Lao, Thai, and Khmer. I'll test the
font and see if I can get some langauge eperts to looks at it and see if
it meets the needs...
