That one is quite odd as if you install Thai office windows complains
about DLL comflicts...
I think they took an USA version and added some files/patched the
registry up to cause minimal interference..

It gets a bit boring, I used to travel around a lot and Thailand
outside Bangkok lacks some proper civilised social life (g)

Chula, its in my opinion the only one which works with minimal
interference and no problem to the OS.
With the proper font it should work on Thai as well.
Translation tables very likely arent the solution anyway as some
characters are combined...

depends on how you interprete that...
However one thing to remember is that a font looking good to us may be
disliked by the locals as difficult to read...
I remember some multilanguage word processor and I showed the wife the
font used and acc to here it just 'didnt look right'...
And that probably goes for many non ABC fonts.
(sorry, snipped a LOT!!)
