hmm, not sure what I could have done wrong: All I’m doing is asking
pango to render the text, and adjust the transformation to fit the
screen, so any font rendering is likely a pango bug.

I guess I can not help you a lot from here. Maybe ask for advice on a
pango mailing list, or check with other pango-using applications.

BTW, is khmer a RTL language? Maybe the order of characters and accents
is somewhat wrong.

Greetings,
Joachim
