Hello,

I love mnemosyne, I have used it study many languages. However, I just cannot get it to work with Khmer (Cambodian). The font size is so small that I cannot read it. No matter how much I change the non-Latin font size, the Khmer unicode font always stays the same size. As such, I am unable to use this program to study Khmer. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this problem?

Thank you very much!

Hi,

Can you try with changing the font size itself in the Mnemosyne settings panel, either globally or just for the field/card type where you input Khmer?

If that works, perhaps there's something wrong with the code that does not register Khmer as non-latin. Feel free to send me your database privately then.

(BTW, the cleanest way to set custom fonts for specific languages is to clone e.g. the card type 'Vocabulary' to 'Khmer vocabulary', put your cards in that card type, and then choose a specific font / font size for Khmer.)

Cheers,

Peter

Aha ! My wife is from Cambodia and became stuck in Belgium with the war when she was 6 yrs together with some 10 others who were flown over to undergo a hospital surgery in a twinning project between a hospital here and in Cambodia.
We found her family back through after 16 years of separation!
I've been trying to explain my new family about mnemosyne and some new language teaching methods.  I posted on it here in Mnemosyne. Let me look it up.  Probably it will be interesting to you too.  If this works, we could obtain a grant.
In Thailand there was a grant by Unesco to put lessons online, a.o. english-thai learning:
