Dear gental Thai linux users,

I have created the free alternative bitmap fonts for X window system. They were created from scratch with bdfedit (http://hea-www.harvard.edu/~fine/Tech/bdfedit.html) except thai18*.bdf. thai18*.dbf were modified from nectec fonts to use with emacs. You can give me feedback so I can fix these fonts and make them better to use.

There two families of fonts: fixed and emacs. For the emacs family, they are supposed to used with emacs(mule) so BV1, BV2, BD, TONE, AD2, AD3, AV1, AV2, AV3 each occupied one cell. 

Example:
% emacs -fn -poonlap-emacs-medium-r-normal--20-140-100-100-m-11-tis620-0

in the emacs window, do
1) key "Esc-x"
2) input "set-language-environment", enter
3) input "Thai"
4) key "Ctrl-]" to switch to Thai mode.

Fixed fonts are supposed to with any application that uses tis620, for example, txiterm.
