I want to type thai
It doesn’t work on windows7
Sadly true! The program will load but will not show the proper Thai fonts. Sigh.
Sorry about the problems you’re having with Vista / Windows 7. I made the app a while ago, and it does have a few probs with the modern OSs.
Although hopefully those problems can be overcome with the following extra info (I’ve added a few other tidbits of info too):
Install Problems (Vista / Windows 7) Right click the install file and select “Run as administrator” from the context menu.
Font Problems Some users were having problems with the thai font on Windows Vista/7 systems. Here is a manual solution:
1) Find the font file at: “C:\Program Files\Thai Typing Tutor\angsd___.ttf” 2) Drag’n'drop this file into: “C:\Windows\Fonts”
(*don’t copy/paste, use drag’n'drop!)
Editing your own lessons You can add your own lessons as text files in the path: “C:\Program Files\Thai Typing Tutor\Lessons”
These text files need to be saved as 8-bit ASCII (TIS-60), which is difficult to do in modern OSs like Vista and W7. Fortunately, David Sharman suggests using the ‘crude thai typing program’ to save 8-bit thai text files. Available at:

The font fix you gave made everything work for me on a Windows 7 install. Thanks!
thx
hi, do you have one for mac OS X 10.6.4?
I haven’t tried this but have heard about the Type Trainer 4 Mac. There is also a big list of typing freeware at All Freeware, though it looks like nearly all are Windows programs. There is a Roundup of 45 Mac OSX language software apps which may be of interest.
