Thai Fonts for Amiga

Most recent update: 15.10.2006

Thai fonts are not directly supported on AmigaOS or MorphOS. However, after finding some fonts on Aminet by Fleming Steffenson that didn't work for me I was inspired to make my own. By allowing enough space for the different levels and using negative kerning it is possible to compose Thai words as they should be (see this nice explanation by the ZzzThai project).

I have hand drawn 2 fonts and derived 2 from the DB Thai font. I rendered the DB fonts using TTFManager but added non spacing marker glyphs such as tone marks that had not been rendered. I'm not an artist but they are certainly suitable for web browsing.
