SUMMARY
=======

In a Thai application, you should avoid fixed pitch fonts. To correctly display
Thai characters, the width of some characters need to be set to zero so that
diacritics and tone-marks can be displayed.

VGAFIX.FON in Thai Windows For Workgroups version 3.11 is a monospaced font. It
does not display all Thai characters correctly.

Additional query words: 3.10
