1. Sorry, the site was kept by a friend and something obviously went wrong. Yes,
I created this font. I can email the font(s) if need be.

2. The period is to ensure the fonts come at the top of font lists, making them
easy to find for people who are not used to the Latin/Roman/English alphabet and
it's order. It's a rather useful method.

3. Indeed the same font named 'Khmer Mondulkiri A' (as it should be for the rest
of the world) instead of '.Mondulkiri A' produces the desired result.

4. The font with the period still worked as intended in Lilypond 2.10.33
