sajal Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Just now I was showing a thai friend some website in Thai language on my Fedora 7 notebook. She said the characters are all messed up. The vowels are kinda out of place. Now I would be needing my notebook to print documents (with some Thai words) and also intend to use my notebook to learn Thai. Does anyone know what do i have to do to make Thai show up correctly on my notebook? I am using Fedora 7 (I think default installation. Dont think i installed anything extra for thai script - not sure) The screenshot above is how firefox displays Thai, gedit places the vowels about 1 line above from where it should be shown. Thanks in afvance for any pointers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hp8000 Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Have you any thai font installed ? I have "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/thai" and "/usr/share/fonts/X11/encodings/tis620-2.enc.gz" installed on my Ubuntu 7.10 and the display is correct in Firefox as well as Gedit. I don't know Fedora very much but you should find some additionals fonts packages by browsing in your package manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sajal Posted December 24, 2007 Author Share Posted December 24, 2007 hi there. Thanks a lot for the help. The package manager had Thai in the languages section, but it was already installed... On googling more i got to http://www.linuxlane.com/Fedora-7-Thai-Font I followed the steps and need to restart for the system to detect the new fonts it seems.
