LaserThai® in Unicode

Now get world-famous LaserThai® fonts in a Unicode™-encoded version! |
|
for Macintosh |
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.

LaserThai in Unicode for Windows
LaserThai in Unicode for Windows
LaserThai in Unicode for Windows includes three keyboard layouts that provide four-characters-per-key input in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP, and 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 10, 8, 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 Windows 10, 8, 7 and Vista.)
- Applications
- Requires Microsoft Word 2013, 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 or newer.
- Microsoft Publisher is compatible, but QuarkXPress, FrameMaker, and PageMaker are not.
- Microsoft PowerPoint 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.)
- Notes
- Printer: The fonts will print to any Windows printer at the highest quality allowed by your printer.
- Documentation: All documentation, including a User's Manual and Keyboard Layout Charts (showing placement of the characters on the keys), is in Adobe Acrobat™ PDF format. Users may view the documentation on screen, or print it using Acrobat Reader, available free online if you do not already have it installed on your computer.
- 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 in Word documents to our non-Unicode SukanyaLS font.
- Transferring Documents: Word 2013, 2010, 2007 and 2003 documents may be transferred to a Macintosh user of LaserThai in Unicode for Macintosh, if the Mac user is using Mellel. Likewise, Mellel documents saved in Rich Text Format may be opened in Word 2013, 2010, 2007 and 2003 with no loss of data. (Word 2013, 2010 and 2007 users should save documents as .doc, not .docx, if transferring to Mellel.)
Cost: US$ 99.95 for any single set; $50 for each additional set for Windows purchased at the same time; $299.95 for LaserThai Professional in Unicode for Windows (all 8 sets together) Order

Also Available
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.
