Font name: !Khmer OS Siemreap

File name: !KhmerOSSiemreap.ttf

Step 2: Deliver font file into computer clients.

a.    Navigate to User Configuration >Navigate to User Configuration > Preferences > Windows Settings > Files

b. Create “New File” by Right click > New  > File

c. Enter the source where each clients can access to that should be on file server and the destination will be “C:\Windows\Fonts\!KhmerOSSiemreap.ttf”

Step 3: Register font in the registry.
