Quick Switch Between Fonts

[kokesaat]

When I'm doing my Thai homework lessons, I often switch between Angsana New and Times New Roman. However, I use Angsana New at 20 pitch, and when I switch (~) to TNR, it inherits the pitch setting (20) which is way bigger than the Thai that I'm typing. Likewise, when I set TNR to 12 and then switch to Angsana New, I have to reset the pitch to 20.

Does anyone know of a quick way to switch fonts and switch font size at the same time?

Use Tahoma 12 or 14 for both English and Thai.

God, I knew I should have asked this question months ago! Thanks for the tip, David!

Although I dislike Excel, I use it for my Thai / English homework. One column has my Thai font settings, the other has English. That way, all I have to do is change what keyboard I'm using and start typing.

I'm on a Mac so there's a pull down tab along the top of my screen to switch keyboards. If anyone knows of an easier way, please feel free.

Of course, my way won't work for those bouncing between Thai and English in the same sentence. But it works a charm for what I'm doing.

Unless you have ideological or financial objections, use Word. That allows separate font settings in the same style etc. for the Thai, Roman and Chinese scripts, though Roman and Chinese have the same pitch. (I use the Thai version of Word 2002.)
