Symptoms: Photoshop CC says "Missing Font" or the Khmer font is greyed out. Cause: Adobe Creative Cloud does not scan the default macOS Fonts folder on startup sometimes. Solution:
The Khmer OS project was the pioneer for open-source Khmer fonts. They are widely used in Cambodia.
If something looks broken (missing characters, boxes), the font may lack required glyphs – switch to Noto Sans Khmer or Khmer OS.
By following these steps, you should be able to successfully install a Khmer font on your Mac and start working with Khmer text.
Open TextEdit (Mac’s default word processor). Go to Format → Font → Show Fonts (or press Command + T). Scroll down until you see "Noto Sans Khmer" or "Khmer OS." Select it. Type "សួស្តី" (Hello). If you see clear letters, you are done.
Even after installation, issues can arise. Here is how to fix them.
