I think it is an OS issue. Is the Thai keyboard installed? Thai is particularly problematic because of things like vowels that wrap consanants ( the "ia" for example which appears before, above, and after the consanant) and the tonal markers. My experience of Thai predates my experience of computers, but in dealing with other languages I'm finding it is a combination of code-page - for the data - and OS language extensions for the display.
>Hello. We are building a new database in Thailand. Some of the data use thai characters. The Thai characters, although originally successfully entered using Fox, do not now appear as Thai characters. I have tried to change the code page but so far without success. Do I need to install a special driver? and would this enable me to type in new Thai characters? Many thank yous in advance, Denis

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
