Thai font issues (Accent marks)

[Scuba_Scott]

I need to translate a video to Thai from English (among many other languages).  I get documents from the translator in Microsoft Word, in "Angsana New" and the Thai font looks great (meaning, any accents that are stacked above a character are correct).  However, when pasted into Adobe After Effects, the accents get "crushed down". 

Here is an example:

CORRECT THAI

INCORRECT THAI

Any assistance would be great!

Go to preference>type>text engine set to south Asian and Middle Eastern option

Then while selecting the text go to paragraph panel go to its options and reset it. This should work

You may need to restart AE after making these changes to make it work properly.

I'm a year late, but I was having the same issue and this didn't help. Instead, I switched my tracking from Optical Allignment to Metrics (I prefer using Optical most of the time for english) and it fixed everything!

Same issue, doesn't work

I had a similar issue with inDesign using Adobe Thai. If you change the paragraph settings to World Ready Single Line (or paragraph) composer, the accents align in the correct place.

This worked for me. Thank you!

None of these are working for me - My font remains squished down

Me too. Years later, this is still an issue. What do we pay for? Could care less about AI if I simply can't cut and paste Thai text for our CEO. Also, the "Middle Easter & South Asian" composers are missing from the paragraphs menu as shown here - https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/asian-scripts.html - 🙄
