Attachment: Nokora-Regular.ttf

Steps to reproduce:

I have create Khmer fonts for google web fonts. I think it is good if we can embed to Firefox. Because right now some OS still lack of Khmer fonts. I attached here the font which is good for mobile phone.

Thanks, danhong. Under which license or licenses can we use that font?

I'm also CCing Sean Martell, who's our visual wizard. Sean, can you take a look at this font and see if that blends with the look and feel of our font efforts?

As for inclusion in Firefox itself, I don't what'd be technically required for us to do that. We use different code paths for UI and content. Just trying to install the font on the OS doesn't work, though. That usually requires admin priviledges, which we don't want for our install process.

The Nokora is licenses under Apache License, version 2.0 (http://www.google.com/webfonts/specimen/Nokora)

I have just tested Khmer Fonts Add-on Package[1] for Aurora(19.0a2) running S2 with Jelly Bean CM10. It works[2]. However the add-on needs to be updated for future releases.

Update: this bug still reproduces on 1.4 builds, using latest partner build.
Should we reopen this bug? Or is this just because partner hasn't updated correctly on their latest base image?

A KK base image will be required on QC devices. JB base images are currently 1.3 based and don't have this font.
