Then I guess we found a bug. KWord' font selector lets me choose a Thai font.
KWord displays another font, though. The font selector remembers the chosen
Thai font and shows it correctly.

The Thai vowel "ai" for instance has the same code as the German Umlaut "ä".
Upon typing "ai", "ä" is displayed in a font that looks like Times.

Same thing in KIllustrator. KPresenter works fine. In KSpread, no Thai fonts
appear in the font selector.

If needed I can send you screenshots of KWord and KPresenter to illustrate
that.
