Actually it would appear that KhmerOS is used by default anyway: the
above override sets the property font-name. (namely, font-name followed
by a period) to the value ("KhmerOS") which does quite nothing.  You
wouldneed to write \override #'(font-name . "Khmer OS") to achieve
anything.  I don't actually see a difference with or without the
override, however.
