LaserThai® in Unicode™ provides
professional-quality, Unicode-encoded Thai fonts in TrueType®
OpenType™ format. These Thai fonts include all letters, accents and
tones used in the Thai language. Because the LaserThai
in Unicode fonts include OpenType layout features, every vowel and tone
mark is automatically positioned as you type. The fonts also include the
Latin 1 and Extended Latin character sets supporting English and other
western European languages. Keyboard drivers (keyboard resources) are
included following both the popular GatManee and PattaChote keyboard
layouts. LaserThai in Unicode fonts are fully compatible between Windows
and Macintosh—documents created on one computer
platform can be transferred and read on the other platform with no
conversion necessary.

Top LaserThai in
Unicode is available for both Windows and Macintosh
 LaserThai
in Unicode for Windows
 LaserThai in Unicode for Macintosh
LaserThai
in Unicode for Windows
LaserThai in Unicode for Windows includes three keyboard
layouts that provide four-characters-per-key input in Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP,
and Windows 2000. The Thai keyboards follow the popular GatManee layout
and the PattaChote layout. Simply type the consonant, the vowel, then the
tone mark, and the diacritics are automatically positioned as you type. The
third keyboard supports English and all other Roman-based languages
supported by the fonts. (This allows the user to type both Thai and English,
or another Latin-based language, without changing fonts.) Windows System
Requirements:
| Operating Systems
|
Requires Windows 7, Vista,
XP, or 2000. |
|
Requires Complex Script Supplemental
Language Support (part of Windows) be installed in Windows
XP and 2000 from your Windows CD. We show you how. (This
feature is built into 7 and Vista.) |
|
|
| Applications
|
Requires Microsoft Word 2010, 2007 or 2003, or
any other component of Microsoft Office 2010, 2007 or 2003 (except Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 is not
compatible), or InDesign CS4. |
|
Microsoft Publisher is compatible, but
QuarkXPress, FrameMaker, and PageMaker are not. |
|
Microsoft PowerPoint 2003
(included in Microsoft Office 2003) is not compatible
with LaserThai in Unicode for Windows. All text is changed to
the Arial font, whether typed with the keyboard, input using
Insert Symbol, or pasted from Word using the Windows
clipboard. PowerPoint users should type their text in Word
and save the text
as a graphic for import into PowerPoint. Users can also use
WordArt to create their text. To do this in PowerPoint go to
Insert, Picture, WordArt, and type your text, formatting it
as desired. Alternatively, users can type directly into
PowerPoint using our non-Unicode
LaserThai fonts. (Earlier versions of PowerPoint
have not been tested for compatibility.) |

Mellel.) |

LaserThai in Unicode for
Macintosh
LaserThai in Unicode for Macintosh includes two keyboard layouts, one
following the popular GatManee layout, and one following the PattaChote
layout. Simply type the consonant, the vowel, then the tone mark, and the
diacritics are automatically positioned as you type. Type English and other
Latin-based western languages by switching to the English (or other western)
keyboard.
Macintosh System Requirements:
| Operating Systems
|
Mac OS X v. 10.4 and above. |
|
| Applications
|
Mellel word processor. (The only Macintosh application we are aware of that
supports the OpenType layout features of these fonts is
Mellel. If you are aware of additional applications
please contact us by
.) |
|
Microsoft Word is not Thai-language
compliant for Unicode-encoded fonts. |
|
Even applications that claim to be Unicode
and OpenType compliant may only support a limited range of Unicode characters or
a limited set of OpenType features. Contact
Linguist's Software about compatibility questions and about the availability of
a non-Unicode version of this product that works in all applications.
|
|
| Notes
|
Transferring Documents: These fonts are compatible with the Windows
version of LaserThai in Unicode. No conversion of Mellel
documents is necessary when transferring files to Windows if the
documents are saved in Rich Text Format and opened in Windows in Office
2007 or 2003. |
|
Publishers: If you are
receiving Unicode-encoded Thai text from your translators,
but must publish using software that does not support
LaserThai in Unicode fonts (such as InDesign or
QuarkXPress), please contact about our
Thai Uni to SukanyaLS Converter, which will convert Thai
Unicode text to our non-Unicode
SukanyaLS font. |

Cost: US$ 99.95 for any single
set; $50 for each additional set for
Macintosh purchased at the same time; $299.95
for LaserThai Professional in Unicode for
Macintosh (all 8 sets together) Order

For non-Unicode versions of these fonts, available for both Windows
and Macintosh, see:
The non-Unicode LaserThai fonts are not
interchangeable with LaserThai in Unicode. Both Unicode and non-Unicode fonts, including
Unicode and non-Unicode versions of LaserThai, may be
installed on your system (since they have different file and font names)
and may even be used in the same files. They are not, however,
interchangeable.
