Let me add that TB doesn't change the font according to the charset.
In my case, I receive messages in European languages and in Thai. In
order to display both corrrectly, I would have to use a font that
includes both.

So if I use a Thai font, Latin letters will be displayed correctly,
but I want to use different fonts, depending on whether I read Thai or
English (for example). English I want to be displayed in Courier New,
and Thai in AngsanaUPC. The only way to achieve this is to set up the
plain text viewer to use Courier New and the richt text viewer to use
AngsanaUPC, and to switch manually from PTV to RTV when a message in
Thai comes in.

What I would like to be able to is to associate a charset with a font,
but that is not possible.
