I have a Frame Maker 8 file, that I opened in FM 10, and the Thai text is not rendered properly whether I use Angsana (New / UPC), Tahoma, Arial Unicode MS or DB Thai.

This is what is look with Angsana (Some extra points are shown)

and with Arial MS Unicode (Incorrect spacing between some characters)

DB Thai font will just show question marks...

Any solution to this issue ?

I have a Frame Maker 8 file ...

Was the original font Unicode or legacy (code page overlay)?

With FM8, it could have been either.

If it's a legacy font, then you need to have that legacy font installed, as the code points for the glyphs are almost certainly different for Unicode.

I'm the OP (on a different login).

The issue only happens in Windows 7. I've tried it on 2 other computers using the trial version of FM 10 running Windows XP and it works just fine.
