Thai support in Linux?

Post #45,298 by kmself 7/12/02 1:08:25 PM Reply	Thai support in Linux? Trying to help a friend here -- my two minute Google search turned up the [link\|http://new.linuxnow.com/docs/content/Thai-HOWTO-html/Thai-HOWTO-4.html\|Linux Thai HOWTO], which apparently isn't much help. Thought that Doug Marker might have some experience w/ Asian language support in general. Any good tips or resources out there? Preferably in English...though Thailish is acceptable. -- Karsten M.

M14 being the most recent Mozilla that has Thai support: [link\|http://www.mozilla.org/projects/l10n/mlp_status.html#moz_1.0\|[link\|http://www.mozilla.org/projects/l10n/mlp_status.html#moz_1.0\|http://www.mozilla....html#moz_1.0]] *I am free now, to choose my own destiny.*

Or: [link\|http://www.linux.ncsu.edu/linux/LDP/HOWTO/Thai-HOWTO-3.html\|[link\|http://www.linux.ncsu.edu/linux/LDP/HOWTO/Thai-HOWTO-3.html\|http://www.linux.nc...HOWTO-3.html]] To make X window application displays Thai font, you should run the application with -fn option. For example, %xedit -fn thai8x16 Note that thai8x16 is just a one of Thai font names. You can see all available fonts by command xlfonts. If you don't want to fill -fn option every time you run application. You should set Thai font in your ~/.Xdefaults or ~/.Xresources like this XTermfont: thai8x16 I imagine this changes the default font to the Thai font to trick X into using the Thai Font? Linux or Unix Thai Fonts: [link\|http://packages.debian.org/unstable/x11/xfonts-thai-nectec.html\|[link\|http://packages.debian.org/unstable/x11/xfonts-thai-nectec.html\|http://packages.deb...-nectec.html]] Not real Thai language support, but the Font should be able to display Thai characters.
