Down at the Cantina

Well, we had our blogger meetup this last Sunday at Hurley’s Cantina. Lots of good discussion, and three new faces. Once I have a picture from Cameras4Cambodia I’ll do a proper writeup.

For now, I’ll share a tip from Manur.org who (like some tech-savvy foreigners) is doing his own Khmer language blog for practice.

No objection.

For putting a bit of Khmer in a western blog, are you familiar with CSS ?
I’d suggest adding a class to the stylesheet, like :

.khmer {
font-family: “Khmer OS Freehand”, “Khmer OS”, “Khmer OS System”;
font-size: 1.5em;
line-height:1.5em;
}

And then, surrounding the khmer sentences with


< class = "khmer"> khmer stuff here < /span >

Please note that the “font-family” takes the first font available on the client’s computer in the list (from left to right). People will want to modify this list for their own design.

Voila!

    Hi Jinja,

    I’m flattered that you think I’m “tech-savvy” — I’m not very technical at all. My technology work is in training, evaluation, and planning!

    < class = "khmer"> khmer stuff here < /span > – is not gonna work! It should be ->

    <span class = “khmer”> khmer stuff here < /span >

    cheer,
