They were then further modified by TLWG +for certain aspects: + + * Latin glyph size compatiblity. That is, Latin glyphs should have equal + size with those from Western fonts at the same point size, so that it + would not require users to scale fonts when using them together in the + same documents. + + * OpenType conformance. We attempt to fullfill OpenType requirements for + Thai fonts[3], according to our drafted spec [4]. However, as many + applications, including MacOS before Leopard and Adobe CS2, do not support + the Thai-specific features well, the 'liga' GSUB hack developed by the + original author is still retained for the time being. + +We use FontForge as development tool. You need it to generate fonts from the +downloaded source. + +For more information, see our project page at: + http://linux.thai.net/projects/fonts-sipa-arundina + +Links: +[0] http://mirror.in.th/font +[1] http://www.gnome.org/fonts/ +[2] http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/ +[3] http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otfntdev/thaiot/default.htm +[4] http://linux.thai.net/~thep/th-otf/ + |
