8 bit, BUT.
problems seems to be several characters having to be used above and
below normal characters and what we as non thais may not mind, thais
tend to have fairly sensitive toes when things donot look normal.
There are several workgroups and websites devoted to the subject and
by far the easier way is to either run it under a Thai fully enabled
windows (which I have really not used myself recently) OR to run it
with a small switcher.
Local foreigners, ie most of our customers will want an English/German
or whatever windows but NOT thai.
Unless there is a secretary/girlfriend on the system...
Example: this morning I got a French Swiss system, main problem I didnt
have a suitable keyboard but he also wanted Thai
99% of our users are non Thai anyway, and the only requirment
is really a decent non proportional font as they would have the
switcher on their system anyway, for Word or whatever.
And if they are Thai, windows should take care of it.
Other category customers we have are japanese/chinese email requirements under
English windows...
Without having to setup Japanese or chinese windows on a separate
drive...
