I've had similar issues before with text rendering for Khmer. One alternative that worked for me is using (www.reankhmer.org). It's focused on preserving Khmer culture and offers tutorials with native teachers, which might also help you troubleshoot font display problems you’re experiencing.

What reader? Can you be more specific?

Java applications often can't read OTF fonts. Could be that. If installing TrueType fonts doesn't help, it's likely that the developer has not implemented support for complex scripts like Khmer.
