[Framers] Thai text in Fm11?

[Heiko Haida]

Hi, 

I know some people who work with FM 10 to set Thai text. 

They still had a Win XP computer for this, as the same text would not
show up correctly on a Win 7 machine.
We could not figure out, why. 

There are two other main problems with Thai texts: 

a) accents may not be displayed correctly in FrameMaker. If so, we
placed small graphics over the wrong characters, which is a tedious
work, of course. 

b) word boundaries are only known to native speakers, as Thai is written
without spaces. You need someone -- who can also work with FM -- to
break the lines correctly. 

So, it is possible to work with FM, but it was not so trivial as with
other languages.
There may be better solutions, I guess... I have not checked with FM
2015, by the way.
