I should note that in Mozilla that this 'quick brown fox' will not show 
up as Thai gibberish unless you use a UniCode font.

Perhaps in KDE, you don't need to.

On the other hand, although Mozilla is quite insistent that I can't 
choose anything else but my two UniCode fonts for Thai.  I am sitting 
here with the font encoding set as UniCode looking at the page in what 
appears to be Courier (and I don't have UniCode Courier [I don't think]) 
but the Thai gibberish looks OK.  I am confused. :-\

Perhaps FontConfig is still not configured correctly.
