Thai Font Styles

[wasabi]

I can read the standard Thai script fairly well. However I have a lot of trouble reading the other type of Thai font, evident on the website linked below and on most Thai TV

Are there any websites that help learn this other Thai script?

Here's another example. Here ร looks like an S in one of the styles. I would like a website geared towards teaching this other style.

I have a Thai-English dictionary which lists every letter and alternate styles, however it would be easiest for me to learn with a side by side comparison of standard Thai script and this other type. By the way, which type face do Thai people prefer?

By the way, which type face do Thai people prefer?

As many and as difficult as possible.

At least that is what it feels like at times.

A more accurate answer is probably that it depends on the type of text - as regards text for informational purposes, the standard font is preferred, but when it comes to commercial uses and decoration, there are plenty of other options, which to me seem to be dictated more by perceived stylishness than by overall comprehensibility.
