This may be a naive question but ....
Are there any fonts around for use with a PC to do Thai (needed) and other
Asian characters (would be nice). Windows fonts preferred, others may be useful.
Thanks,
....Ron

Windows fonts preferred, others may be useful. The only Thai font I know of are those developed in METAFONT for use with TeX, by Tom Ridgeway and colleagues at the Univ. of Washington, Seattle. These can be used on any computer and with any printer, of course, since this is true of TeX. Dominik

Thai font(s) are available on ymir.claremont.edu for anonymous ftp, I believe in tex.babel.thai (or tex/babel/thai as we say in Unix). Except for authorship, Dominik is otherwise correct as to use on any output device, etc. > >Dominik Cheers, Tom (hi, Dominik!, long time, no see)

Here's an even **more** naive question! I've pulled the .mf files from ymir.claremont.edu. _Now_ what do I do? I'm afraid I'm very much a novice in this area so I would be very grateful if some metafont guru can tell me what I need to do to be able to incorporate these fonts into my system. I have TeX and LaTex on already but these came with the system. I have got "mf" on my system but I don't think I am using it correctly - I tried mf thair10 but could not make the .tfm file. Then I tried mf "\mode:=localfont; \mag:=magstep(1);" input thair10 I managed to create the .tfm file but I got a lot of error/warning messages. LaTeX _seems_ to be happy when I tried it on a test file but I have not worked out how to convince "dvi" or "xdvi" that I have the fonts. Help....!
