Google Web Fonts is not working on Android 4.2.2 with Khmer language

Question

I'm trying to show Khmer language in Android. In Android version 4.1.2 and 4.4+, the Khmer language is working fine. But in Android version 4.2.2 any Khmer language is not displayed even a character. I got a blank space text.

This is the example of Khmer language that's using Google web fonts : http://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Battambang#charset . You can open it any browser that support @font-face it will display the Khmer text except Android 4.2.2.

Every Khmer websites I opened it with Android 4.2.2, I see only a blank space too like http://news.sabay.com.kh, http://kohsantepheapdaily.com.kh, ...

Please somebody know how to solve this problem. I tested with emulator and real device like Sony and Samsung that's using Android 4.2.2.

Update: in google web fonts, the problem is only Khmer language is not displaying. the other fonts are working. try here : https://www.google.com/fonts in Android 4.2.2

Answer 1

On our custom font we have text-rendering: optimizeLegibility enabled. It was causing the font to not display in android 4.2.2. We use the font for custom symbols.

I have been debugging this sort of problem for the past week. I do not know if this will solve your issue, but it seems to be the same problem.
