Hi John,
as always it's helpful if you can provide urls of pages which are not
working satisfactorily. The one you gave previous, www.dailynews.co.th,
prints from my Debian system, except the font size is uncomfortably
small.
I can't account for truncating the top of the page. I think text may go
missing if there isn't a full set of properly registered fonts, though
I'd have thought your LinuxTLE would have taken care of that.
RedHat has traditionally opposed the use of Xprint, although the
LinuxTLE sounds like the right thing you've been after for running a
Thai system. The new Debian stable release ("sarge") was released in
June. Have you had a chance yet to test it and compare? The initial
set-up screen starts with a list of languages to install with, and Thai
is one of the languages listed.
Xprint on Debian has it's own set of problems, which are by no means
minor, so I can't guarantee you'll prefer it. But I'm not seeing the
two particular problems you've mentioned here.
It might be worth checking which locale you're running under, since that
can affect font handling (run "locale", check LANG, or look
in /etc/environment). If you're in a Thai 8-bit locale (or worse, ASCII
or latin1), do you get different results using a Thai UTF-8 locale
instead?
Sorry I can't give a more definitive answer.
Drew
