shotover Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 How can I send a Hotmail email message in Thai script? Specifically, I want to copy some some Thai script from a web site and paste it into a Hotmail message, along with some English script, to a Thai friend. Could the recepient view both the English and Thai script together without having to switch between the English and Thai encoding options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovineye Posted January 4, 2003 Report Share Posted January 4, 2003 Yes it can be done. For you, the way to do this depends on your OS. Windows 98 or XP or? Do you have Thai fonts installed already? If not, you can get them a few different places. I can look up a link if you don't have the fonts. Basically the same for the recipient. They need the Thai fonts installed and it also depends on the browser. If the person has the fonts installed, and uses IE browser, they may need to go to the menu VIEW, ENCODING, and select Thai (windows). Then they can see both the English and Thai on the same page. Let me know if you need help downloading and installing the fonts, and which OS you use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pescator Posted January 10, 2003 Report Share Posted January 10, 2003 Hi Shotover, Another way would be to write your text in thai, make a screendump of in and convert it to a *.gif or *.jpg file - in other word a graphic file. Any browser and any platform will be able to read it then. This will only take you like 30 seconds. They will obviously not be able to make any alterations to the text but it take it that is no major deal? Cheers Hua Nguu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovineye Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 Yes, I do that much more frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 13, 2003 Report Share Posted January 13, 2003 Yes you can send Thai script together with the English character set in Outlook. You will get a warning message when you send it "Message Character Set Conflict". This is because one of the character sets in the message is not the default. Just choose the option "Send As is" and both character sets will be retained for the recipient to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shotover Posted January 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm still having problems with my Win 98 system, but I'm going to try another download of the fonts. Worked very smoothly with the XP system.

rovineye Posted January 15, 2003 Report Share Posted January 15, 2003 win 98 is a little different. After you download it, you need to go into control panel and highlight the new font. After that the OS will know it is there. I would be more specific but don't have 98. Just remember having to do something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 15, 2003 Report Share Posted January 15, 2003 Hello, Make sure you went through windowsupdate and downloaded all the required updates, especially download the latest internet-explorer. Any Windows 95B or higher will allow you to type and display Thai (if the program supports it, but programs such as Internet Explorer and Outlook can) if you install Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher, and the Thai language update.
