As a background note that may or may not be related: Thai also has
subscript vowels that happen not to occur in the Applications / Places /
System menu names.  There has been some controversy over whether the
vertical space for those should be counted as part of a font's size or
not, and that could conceivably be confusing things.  For example if you
write "ดูนี้" (4 layers of characters!) one font may say its size
includes the height of "ดู" and another may count only the "ด" part.

I forget whether or how the upper two characters in นี้ are counted, but
the "base" line of text (the equivalent of the height of x in English
typography) is only as high as the ดน part.
