Busra Release 9.000
We’re pleased to announce the release of Busra version 9.000—a newly updated version of the Khmer Busra font formerly part of the Mondulkiri project. There have been major changes since version 7.100:
- The font family is now called “Busra” so it and the old “Khmer Busra” can be installed at the same time.
- There are six weights: ExtraLight, Light, Regular, Medium, SemiBold, and Bold. This also replaces the older Khmer Mondulkiri family.
- Oblique (italic) styles are not included but will be provided in a later release.
- Glyph outlines have been revised and improved.
- OpenType support has been rewritten, supporting latest best practice in Khmer text encoding.
- Support for Graphite and AAT rendering has been removed.
- Latin glyphs have been replaced with ones specifically designed to work well with the Khmer glyphs.
- Default line spacing has updated to best practice. This could affect older Windows apps.
- Three font formats are provided: OpenType (.ttf) for desktop use and WOFF/WOFF2 for the web.
Busra is available from the Busra Download Page
