Currently Ubuntu 11.x does not allow for all Khmer vowels to be correctly typed. If you’ve had trouble typing Khmer in Ubuntu, try this solution and see if it works – it should allow the NiDA keyboard that comes with Ubuntu to be fully used.
Here’s how it can be fixed:
1. Type
sudo gedit /etc/environment
2. Add a line
GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
3. Save and close.
4.Then in terminal type:
sudo gedit /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose
5. Gedit should open, search for Khmer and make sure the following exists (if not, copy and paste it in):
#
# Khmer digraphs
#
<U17ff> : “ាំ”
<U17fe> : “ោះ”
<U17fd> : “េះ”
<U17fc> : “ុំ”
<U17fb> : “ុះ”
6. Save and reboot.
And that’s it! Let us know if you have any trouble in the comments.

Hello Chhayhout,
Did you follow the instructions on this page? There shouldn’t be any more issues with Khmer on Ubuntu. What kind of trouble are you having?

Unfortunately, the instructions did not fix the issue – Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS.
Thanks and regards,

I’ve tried this, and it works; but one thing still they are readable at all.
Is there anyway to get around this?
