OTF Fonts Thai

Hello,

we are working with structured FM 8 and do translate in pretty much all languages except for Arabic. So far, there were no complaints for the Asian languages. But now, we receive the feedback that the characters for Thai (Arial Unicode) are correct but that there are spaces between some characters making it difficult to read the text. We have done various tests and recognized that all True-Type fonts are causing these problems. Now, I installed an OTF-Font for Thai and the problems stay the same. Therefor, my question if the Thai font is upported at all?

Thank you very much in advance,

Sandra Ullrich

Sandra,

I am definitely having problems with Thai in FM8. Did the advice that Michael Müller-Hillebrand gave you work for you? I have no problems with other Asian fonts, just Thai.

Thanks!

Is there someone working with FrameMaker 8 as well who experienced similar problems with Thai or other Asian translations?

All remarks are highly appreciated.

Hi Sandra U.,

as soon as you have the »Support for complex scripts« activated, your Windows will install additional fonts from the original CDs (have them at hand). You'll find this option at the control panel »Regional and Language options« on the »Language« tab. [Exact wording may differ, I have the German UI.]

Apart from Tahoma (that you already have installed, which supports Thai) some other fonts with Thai support are installed, like Angsana, Browalia, Cordia...

Kindest regards,

- Michael Müller-Hillebrand
