Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately, that's not really the point.  In KDE 2.x there was a 
selection available in the Select Font dialog in 
Look&Feel|Fonts|Choose... dialog.

This selection seems to be not present in KDE 3 .

The selection in KDE 2 allowed one to set the font encoding to be used. 
 This had nothing to do with locale settings.  I don't really want to 
set the locale to Thailand, because we are in USA!  Perhaps though I can 
try that and see if it produces the desired results.

But the point, again, is that there was a font encoding selection field 
in the Select Font dialog in KDE 2, and that selection field is missing 
in KDE 3.

I am hoping to discover why this has disappeared, and how to access 
equivalent functionality in KDE 3.

Good day!
