Andrew:

I presume that he already has a font.  I think the ClearlyU (or 
something like that) comes with something in XFree86.  If not, Arial 
Unicode and CyberBit are freely available.

The question is: how does he choose ISO-8859-11 encoding for the 
standard fonts selected in the Control Center.  Since it works with 8 
bit characters, the encoding has to be set somewhere.

It is my understanding that it is now automatic.  That if he installs 
the kde-i18n package for Thai, that when he chooses Thai as the language 
that the font encoding will be set automatically.
