WHY?
I saw a sign in the movie street fighter (van Damme) that looked like written with a typical THAI FONT (แบบอักษรไทย) but when I had a closer look, the signs were written in English (Latin) characters. That was exactly what I needed for my Thai ladies personals website. No one had it so I made it.
And this is it. I guess I'd have to class this as an unfinished version as some characters should have a lot more attention but for now I was more interested in some of the other stuff.
Thanks to Jos Flachs in Bangkok for his expert suggestions. Without him, the font would be half as good.
Cheers to Aleksey Kuritsin for designing the Russian letters and the numbers.
Enjoy!
Andreas Weygandt
INSTALLATION
Windows: To install, simply download and copy the AW_Siam.ttf ( TrueType) file to the windows fonts folder C:\WINDOWS\FONTS
Make sure that the kerning is on - in MS Word default is off.
Postscript Font : When you use postscript fonts you know how to install them.
Mac: When you have downloaded the file, simply drag it to the folder Macintosh HD/Library/Font. That is all! Thanks to Jan de Bloois in
Hoek van Holland
To remove simply delete the AW_Siam.ttf file from the C:\WINDOWS\FONTS folder, but why you want to do this is beyond my comprehension.
UNKNOWN PROBLEMS
Tell me and I'll try and fix it!
KNOWN PROBLEMS
Thais can't read it ;-)
