Dear Don Hosek, and anyone, I have just picked up the Thai fonts from ymir.claremont.edu, and like an earlier correspondent, I find that the style file "rmit-std.sty" that the documentation files call for is missing. Can anyone point to a source for this file? Also, the "thai.rmit" directory gives no name of who made these fonts, nor any address for communication, or indeed any clue to the origin of the MF files. There is a single date in the file thai-tab.tex, "Friday 2 December 1988." Am I right in assuming that these Thai characters are the ones created by Bob Batzinger, and so tantalizingly not reported on on p.503 of TUGboat 10 (1989), issue 4 (1989 Conference Proceedings)?

It simply sets up some margins for the correct paper size here at RMIT. >Also, the "thai.rmit" directory gives no name of who made these fonts, Hi! I wrote them (see signature below). I have not touched them for ages. I wanted to learn about TeX, MetaFont, etc. etc. so I had a go at something that no-one else seemed to have done. In otherwords, it is a metafont program by a beginner, not by an expert. I also was only starting to learn Thai, so I dont know how good they are. I since gave up on Thai and frankly cannot remember much of it any more. I was also having fun at the time trying to get my Amiga to speak Thai. It was good for a chuckle. Anyway, if you have any questions, sure, drop a line. I dont know how much I will be able to help (as from the date you can see the last time I used any of it). Hope they are useful to someone. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Alan Kent, ACSNET: ajk@goanna.cs.rmit.OZ Key Center for Knowl.
