Thai fonts unreadably small in Dapper

[Daeng Bo]

The new Thai-system package in Dapper apparently doesn't install some
fonts which Breezy did, because an upgrade only gives access to fonts
like DBThai, FreeSerif, Garuda, and Norasi, which are all ancient and
unreadably small. I'm not sure which font disappeared during the
transition, but the package maintainer should consider setting Loma as
the default font for Thai encoding (TIS-620). This is the default font
used in the Thai government's LinuxTLE distribution. NECTEC has put the
font in the public domain and it is available here:

I think the recent upload of ttf-thai-tlwg 0.4.4-0ubuntu1 should already fix this.

Please confirm if this is still the case with Dapper Beta.

Thanks,

Thai fonts are still extremely small (10pt is an eyestrain) and
monospace font is unsuitable for Thai, because vowels and diacritical
marks appear above and below consonants. I still recommend Loma, which
is the font created by the Thai ICT Ministry and used for LinuxTLE.

Those contracts don't come around often. It takes away the worry of, am I going to get another <a href="http://www.weddinginthebox.com/blog/sash-wedding-dress.html">sash wedding dress series</a>? Is someone going to hire me this season? It settles that.

Can you retest with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS?
