Recently, I've been trying to learn Thai and have set up an
alternate Thai keyboard layout. All works pretty well until I try
to save a document written in Thai. It seems to save OK, but when I
open it later, all the Thai text is represented by small
rectangles... i.e. garbage.
What is the secret to saving documents in Thai? I think it has
something to do with unicode, but I have no idea how to deal with it.
Any help would be appreciated.
I forgot to mention I am using LO 4.1.3.2 on Win 7.
Do you have Thai fonts in your font directory? I don't know where you
get them, but that's what you need.

Seems to me that without Thai fonts I could not type text into the
document at all. I can type text into the document using Lucinda
console font which comes with Win7. The only problem is that after
saving the document I can't retrieve it with the text intact.
I found a page through google on setting up a Thai keyboard and it said
that win7 comes with several Thai fonts. Another one mentioned is
Malaga and the characters appear just fine in the document. I can even
print them, I just can't recover them after saving.
I have the same problem in Notepad, but in Notepad I get a warning that
says: This file contains characters in Unicode format which will be
lost if you save this file as an ANSI encoded text file. To keep the
Unicode information, click Cancel below and then select one of the
Unicode options from the Encoding drop down list, Continue? Problem is I
can't find any Encoding drop down list.
In LO, however, there is no such warning. It appears to have been
successfully saved until I open it later and find garbage.
OK, I just found the Encoding drop down list in the save dialog, so I
can now save documents in Notepad using the same Lucinda console font.
