Re: Thai script in Pango

Hi Owen, Robert,

Finally, I can manage to get Thai pango engine loaded.
I didn't debug what the exact problem is.
Here is what I did.

In .../etc/pango/pango.modules,

Thai unicode range, 3585-3675, is also included in "pango-basic.so" and
that's why Pango doesn't load pango-thai.so so I move "pango-thai.so"
before "pango-basic.so".

Tomorrow, I'll check if the testtext program is still able to show Thai UTF-8
text. I believe that I still have something to do with tis620.2533-0 for
both font and (may be) iconv conversion before I can see Thai....
