Uniscribe on Windows. It supports Thai. I don't know what it uses on Linux, but it uses something that doesn't support Thai properly, since nothing better is available. Hence Pango and Graphite. This is the point about building text rendering into the system. Applications cannot have their own rendering engines in general. So whatever the system renderer supports is the best you can expect in most software (if that). -- Edward Cherlin Generalist & activist--Linux, languages, literacy and more "A knot!
