The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows version 3.1

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.
