Thank you Leon!
fc-list does show the font I have in mind.
gucharmap shows the Thai character set.
I found a reference to a new version of pango that has
helped quite a bit. I can now choose Thai when I log
in and see menus and such displayed in Thai.
But I cannot input Thai characters... rather I can
input only Thai characters or only Latin characters.
I used to be able to switch from one to the other
using the Left-Alt Left-SHift for Latin and Left-Alt
Right-Shift for Thai with rh8.0.
But now I am stuck with Thai only or English/Latin
only, depending upon the setting for keybd in
/etc/X11/XF86Config.
Any insight into that?
Thanks again for taking the time to help me.
I truly do appreciate it.
