About
Fonts-TLWG (formerly ThaiFonts-Scalable) is a collection of Thai scalable fonts available in free licenses. Its goal is to provide fonts that conform to existing standards and recommendations, so that it can be a reference implementation.
So, the fonts have to be modified from their original versions as needed, according to following references:
- Recommendation for Thai font design, from the National Font Project
- Adobe Glyph naming convention
- Microsoft Typography
- Common practice for Thai Windows fonts
We use FontForge (formerly PfaEdit ) as the development tool. You need it to generate fonts from the downloaded source.
