Short: Thai fonts (2 fonts, 2 sizes) Author: koan Uploader: emptystate yahoo co uk Type: text/bfont Version: 3.0 Architecture: generic About Version 3 In this archive, all glyphs have been drawn, even glyphs not currently used in modern Thai language. As well as general improvements glyphs have been modified so that they make better use of space given valid Thai letter order (see the WTT standard for details). Version 2 added the DBThaiLH font. Version 1 was the initial release of the lhthai font. About This archive contains 2 Thai fonts. Together, they should be enough for basic web browsing and text editing. To use Thai with Amiga-compatible computers requires the use of negative kerning. These fonts use negative kerning to allow the use of "non-spacing markers". Programs that use these fonts need to properly implement a proportional font renderer and respect the kerning. One such program is BareEd, which also has special features for Thai input. DBThaiLH This font comes in 2 sizes. I rendered the DBThai font using TTFManager but none of the tone markers appeared (as they are not supported) and other unexpecting rendering artefacts occurred. I have tried to tidy up the positioning and clean up the fonts. They are not perfect but should be a lot more usable than the standard DBThai font. I have seen the DBThai font available for download from many different locations and in many different formats. If you have a problem with what I have done with it then please contact me and I will remove it from this archive. lhthai This font comes in 2 sizes; I have designed it mainly for use with web browsers. By setting the kerning information to extreme values it is possible to make vowels and tone marks appear in roughly the right places. Due to the multilevel nature of "way an nuuk", for example consider a vowel with "sara ee" and "mai ayk", these fonts appear to have an excess of vertical space. The Thai letters are TIS-620 coded, i.e. appear in the upper half of 8 bit ASCII. Installation 1. Copy the lhthai and DBThaiLH directories to FONTS: 2a. For a Shell in Thai, try typing setfont lhthai 24 prop. You can even put this in your shell-startup. If you are like me, you can make a copy of shell-startup with the additional line for Thai fonts and copy the Shell icon, editing its tooltypes so that it uses the new shell-startup. 2b. Select an lhthai font in your web browser These fonts were drawn/edited using TypeFace by David Kinder. If you find any mistakes, please let me know. Only Amiga makes it possible!
