Also, I only have to single-click to get links to open or run a program - you may have to double-click.Īnd before you start, have a pencil and paper handy and whenever you change ANYTHING, write down what you changed, what you changed it from and what you changed it to. I have standard XP Pro, so I don't know if this will work in the Thai version. I don't see where I have 15 different options as to script? I'm occasionally running into trouble with the small default fonts and thus making gross spelling errors! Faw faa ฝ can look like Faw fan ฟ if one is not careful. I'm running Windows XP Pro and have only two options: Thai Kedmanee & Thai Pattachote? This operating system was purchased in Thailand and was supposed to be the 'Thai' version of XP Pro. My lap top screen resolution (1024 by 768) certainly shows Cordia New more clearly than Tahoma or Sans Serif, but maybe other screens at other resolutions do the reverse. There is one final point to make - that maybe different PC screens show fonts differently. In the end, it must be up to the individual to choose, but I would like people to know about Cordia New. I think you'll agree that you can see the vowel under the 'ป' much more easily in Cordia New font than Tahoma. I agree that Tahoma looks good when writing English and Thai letters in the same text, and the line spacing of Cordia New is a little too big, but the letters DO look clearer than Tahoma, and novices like me who can't recognise Thai letters easily should find Cordia New easier to read.įor example, just write 'crab' in Thai ( ปู) and compare how it looks using Tahoma and Cordia New.

Also the size is way off: A normal 10-11 point Angsana font is so small it's almost unreadable. Older fonts like Angsana and Cordia are are line-spaced way out, this does not look good, especially not when displaying English in these fonts. Mostly because the same font looks good and properly sized and shaped both when writing Thai in Tahoma as well as English in Tahoma.
