Thai font problem in Firefox, windows 7

[nabbie]

Hi, I am not sure if I pick this right forum. It is about Thai font problem via Firefox 52, windows 7 64. 

 

Please see the attached. You can see some wild characters which are supposed to be in Thai fonts. This website is called http://iteslj.org/v/th/ut-travel.html. It is really good source for Thai learners.

 

My idea of solving all the possibilities are running out so I appreciate any suggestions you may have.

It's more like an IT question, but anyway.

I see the same garbage at first.

Looking at the Copyright 2002 let me think what it is.

(I have FF in German language so description is a bit vague)

 

There is menu for View settings and therein a menuitem for "text coding" (?).

It is probably set to "Unicode" and you hopefully have "Thai" in the list.

Select, reload page and see this:

For background info:

"Windows code page 874"/"TIS 620".

 

It's an "old fashioned" method to map Latin and Thai characters in one 256 character set (1 Byte per character).

More or less vanished nowadays.

 

Not FF specific. Same for Chrome and EDGE browser.

Many thanks, KHUNBENQ. Now it works. I completely forget about text coding in the browser. This quiz is great source to strengthen Thai memory. สุขสันต์วันงกรานต์
