Yeah, it was simple before, just select the encoding you want.  Do you 
have a KDE 2.2 machine around, you can check it out.

I got it.  I'll try installing it in 2 days, and see what I can do with 
it.  But my wife is rather attached to Tahoma font.  Many of the Thai 
fonts are hard to read on screen.  Tahoma looks very good.

I think you mean "switch the keyboard" right?  What we did in KDE 2.2 
was to have the Thai keyboard available, but KDE in English.  When we 
switch to the Thai keyboard, Thai characters come out.  US keyboard 
types English.  But KDE is all English.  But by setting the encoding of 
the general KDE font to iso8859-11, then Konqueror will show Thai file 
names mixed in with English ones.

I will reply about what happens with the Unicode fonts in a few days.

I really appreciate your interest.

Good day!
