Oswulf Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 There's a small collection of Thai fonts at OpenTLE, including JS Wansika, which is an italic font with long flourishes, and PS Pimdeed, which is a "dirty typewriter" font. linux.thai.net has a few different ones, including Purisa, which is a handwritten style font. Despite the site's name, these fonts work with Microsoft Windows. Worthy of special mention is David McCreedy's Gallery of Unicode Fonts which has two pages of image samples of Thai fonts as graphics, so you can see what the font looks like before installing it, as well as links to from where you can download the font concerned.

SawWow Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 (TIS-620) Thai Fonts four sets (Norasi, Garuda, Kinnari, Loma) "These fonts was developed according to requirements of brain storm meeting for standard Thai font development. They can work with Linux, Mac OS X, and MS-Windows operating system." http://www.links.nectec.or.th/download.php (you will need to unpack the tar.gz files (google for winrar)) Some Thai Unicode fonts can be found here: http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/fonts_windows.html#thai // A useful console application to convert from one charset to another can be found here. Altair Communications Charset Convertor (Windows, .net 1.1, Includes vb.net source) http://software.altaircom.net/software/chacon.aspx A sample command line to convert a text file from TIS-620 (windows-874) to utf-8: chacon.exe utf-8 input.txt windows-874 output.txt With this conversion you can then open the file and use a unicode font (Tahoma) , not that that is a good thing. But, it is useful at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genericnic Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) RDN Thanks for the link to the Cooper paper on how Thai's tell letter's apart. Finding the difference that makes the difference can make reading a more unified process. David opps ... didn't notice the OP was no longer with us.
