+The motivation of creating TlwgMono font was from Mikachan font and SLThaiUI
+font. When I tried Gentoo Linux and installed Japanese font, I didn't know
+exactly what Japanese font I should install. I chose Mikachan font because
+it is the Japanese font I found. It came out that this font is handwriting
+font. I was impressed because the creator must write every Japanese (Chinese)
+characters by hand. See here, http://mikachan-font.com/index2.html, she do
+it this way. Comparing to Thai characters, Japanese is more more difficult.
+If she can create Japanese font alone (at least writing every chatacters),
+why can't I create Thai font. At the same time, Mr.Sirichai Lerdvorawut
+showed his font, SLThaiUI, at TLWG-DEVEL mailing list. So I decided I
+should create one which is needed. Here it is TlwgMono and I decided to
+make the font monospace because we (Thai Linux community) don't have one.
+
+TlwgMono's English characters are from Free UCS outline font. Why? Because
+it is nice. I don't want to create another wheel. For Thai characters,
+I imported thai18.pcf which is bitmap font from NECTEC as the background.
+It is used as position reference. After drawed line by line many nights
+after my work, it was done. Thanks to Pfaedit, the great font editing tool.
+
+TlwgMono is GPL licensed, so it is free. I hope this font could be useful.
+If you want to contribute, please take it and improve it.
+
+PS. I'm not the designer. Thanks to Thai Linux Working Group.
