Re: How to change font encoding?

Chris, KDE is built on QT and QT has made all this stuff automatic. The only
prerequisite is that you choose a font that has the glyphs you want or at
least assign a substitute font.

Just remember that you need to set fonts in numerous places. In
controlcentre under fonts there is a general font but there is also a font
choice for the Desktop and for FileManager that is distinct from the
Konqueror Browser font choices.

You use qtconfig (in your qt bin folder, prob not in your menu) to set
substitute fonts. For instance you can tell it to use Arial but to use
TastyThai font if there are glyphs that Arial does not have (probably none
in this case).  You can do this for whatever fonts and families you want.
