But that setting isn't available when using Konqueror as a file manager, 
at least not in 3.0.3.

My wife has some files named in Thai.  Right now she can't display the 
names properly.

I can never understand it why a new version of a piece of software omits 
something that was there before.

Just to keep things in focus, the main point of all of this is that in 
the Select Font dialog of KDE 2 there was an option to set the encoding 
for the KDE fonts, including the general one.  This setting has been 
removed in KDE 3.

Is there another way to do it?

I will check out the effects of the locale settings later, but that 
still doesn't answer the fundmental question.

Good day!
