there's no thai glyphs in sans serif (at least for unicode). which thai fonts? 
do the  designers know about unicode? its "more" normal here to see codepage 
encodings, could be the problem (ie why they're using sans serif for thai). 
also 
they probably have macs.

how old are the macs at the client? i can probably suggest a few font families 
if i know how far back to look.
