Which Virtual Thai Keyboard Gives Those Large Fonts ?

Featured Replies

I read the section at top on writing in Thai but it is totally confusing. The moderator should step in and recommend a clear, large-font system for posters here. Kikiat works, but the script is miniscule, and the tone marks illegible, yet most writers here seem to use it. The only one I like is that large, clear font 3 times the default size of Kikiat --- what is it called and where to find? I only have a Western keyboard, so a large virtual font is essential. Thanks.

P.S. I see that Kikiat ขี้ีีเกียจ can be scaled-up in the composition window here to ขี้ีีเกียจ or even ขี้ีีเกียจ but it's still ludicrously small until I check the preview ... this is no way to operate in the year 2007 ! You see: maximum font size 7 is the only one which reveals the tone mark clearly.

Since there is free web browsing software like Firefox which allows for easy enlargement of font size (Just press Ctrl + '+' on the numeric keypad until you think the Thai text is pleasant to read; to go back, press Ctrl + '-' on the numeric keypad), I don't think it is essential to demand of posters to post Thai using larger than usual fonts even though it is nice and considerate if they do.

Not to sound condescending, but the need to read Thai in large fonts does go away with increased reading practice - the default font size will then be enough to read what one sees without any size adjustments.

I do recognize there is a a problem with the extremely small Thai text size in the composition window though, and will see what can be done about it.

Go to My Controls > Board Settings and change Type of Text editor to Rich Text Editor. Any changes you see will show up while you are editing also.
