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. --- Leon Ho <llch@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I will dump my 2 cents. See if you able to get it > working: > - does fontconfig able to list the font you have > installed?
