I've spent the morning trying to find a solution to your problem, Geoff. I use linux, so can't speak from a Windows perspective. I did notice that there were plenty of Thai ttl fonts, and that the fonts themselves were above 163. I did try F-engrave in WINE and had the same result coming from TTL as in Deskengrave. The ripping from graphic process was one I ddn't try because you specifically eschewed working through graphics in the first post. There are probably plenty of workarounds if you go graphic transfer, but that wasn't what you asked for. |

Seems to me that the problem might be solved if you tried a font that mapped the Thai characters to the lower ASCII range. I think there may be some out there....... |

I've just re-mapped a few characters indbtt.ttf to see whether it could be done and here's the result in DeskEngrave: |

Hi again Geoff, I've just tried a Thai font in Vectric Cut 2d and it seems to cope well with some random characters I copied from character map. Of no use if you haven't got Cut 2d but it shows it can be done with the right software. I hope my random characters don't spell out anything bad! Phil. |

Okay, I've done a full substitution of Thai glyphs for the English glyphs in the low ASCIIs, creating a new typeface (attached). You should be able to run this in Deskengrave -- the only slight hiccup is you will see the English letters in the input line, but the output window and g-code resulting will be Thai. Ps. you need to be using the English keyboard when typing the Thai characters into the Deskengrave program -- at least I did. Shouldn't be a problem if you touch type, or have keyboard stickers in place. |
