I don't know if anyone here ever uses the Thai font at all but in Leopard I find it very strange. A system font, Lucida Grande, in Leopard version (font version 6) does not contain Thai font. I don't know why but this make it a lot verse for normal uses of the system. The system just chose the other font that comes with it, Thonburi, which looks okay (well, not good) but the problem is that it doesn't have bold or italic typeface at all. Not to mention problems displaying Thai in Mail.app, Pages, Keynote, Numbers and TextEdit just because of the change of the font. The older version of Lucida Grande that comes with Tiger (font version 5) does contain Thai font.

These Lucida Grande Oblique fonts from the Lucida Font Store are in the pan-European WGL character set. How to Install Lucida Fonts. On a Mac - 1). Calibri for Mac, Lucida Grande for Windows.

Lucida Grande is another humanist sans-serif typeface and has been included with Apple’s OS since X. It is especially popular among web designers who have seen the light and use Macs, and incredibly envied by those on Windows machines.

If you take a look at the 'Font Info' in Font Book, you'll just see that the only language missing in the new Lucida Grande is actually Thai compared with the one that comes with Tiger.

Thanks for the iDisk files, but Word would not recognize the thonburi.tff base font.

The other 3, fine, but not that one. For some reason, all my Thai fonts got dumped during the Leopard install. I did just pull the Loma font off the web and that one works fine with Word. Any idea what I might try to get Word and that thonburi.ttf file to play nicely?

Where else will this Lucinda/Thunburi issue show up other than those who've used the Lucinda font in Word? Will the OS be looking for the thonburi.ttf font in some instances, thus without it, will not display thai script correctly? Dec 2, 2007 11:51 PM. Tom, Yes, Word is no longer the problem, but Safari (as noted above) has turned most Thai web pages into a bit of a mess as many tone marks and vowels are not properly spaced. Mail of course has a similar problems.

I've set Safari's preferences to the Thonburi font you provided, but this has not corrected the problem either. Anything else we should be looking at before considering Tiger? Oh, on Leopard's install I did check the box for the font packages--actually, it would only allow me to check/un-check a few of the newer languages, all other languages were greyed-out. While other languages and character sets are there now, none of the standard Thai fonts are there anymore. Dec 4, 2007 10:52 PM.

The Thonburi font I provided is just a renamed Windows font, and of course it may not do diacritics as well as an Apple font.
