Doesn't include Thai numbers

[boomwooq]

Hi, I have been using the plugin for Thai script, it works well!

However, it doesn't include Thai numbers even though they're located in Number category. But in Punctuation category, it works perfectly fine, it draws out all the Thai punctuations in the section.

I just recently added Thai quickly (at least letters* should work?) and maybe didn’t add numerals yet. 1)

1)
I’ll have a look

---

*)
Left : khoKhwai khoKhwai doDek khoKhwai
Right : khoKhwai doDek doDek khoKhwai-thai

2)
Do you have a better recommendation (better than this one here above) for the letters?

3)
Do you have a recommendation for the numerals sample stings?

Hey, sorry it took a while to reply. I have been discussed with others and couldn't find the agreement on what should be the control letters while doing the kerning since we use the different strings on loop and loopless version.

would it be possible to have the middle strings?
If it could be then I would suggest this set of letters:

Loopless:
นน(x)มมออ(x)ดด

Left: noNu-thai noNu-thai
Middle: moMa-thai moMa-thai oAng-thai oAng-thai
Right: doDek-thai doDek-thai

Loop**
ผผ(x)ผผออ(x)ออ
Left: phoPhung-thai phoPhung-thai
Middle: phoPhung-thai phoPhung-thai oAng-thai oAng-thai
Right: oAng-thai oAng-thai

*Only if they could have 2 sets of loop and loopless, but if it couldn't then I would suggest the loopless version as the default.

Numbers
๗๗(x)๒๒๐๐(x)๐๐
Left: seven-thai seven-thai
Middle: two-thai two-thai zero-thai zero-thai
Right: zero-thai zero-thai

Thank you for considering this!

Thank you very much @boomwooq !

I’ll think about how to control Loopless/Looped either in the UI or automatically. I also thought that this particularly is an issue. Maybe in the hidden extra drawer (button "…") I could add a radio-box to choose.

@Mark2Mark Totally love the idea!

Cool!

How about splitting the currently proposed middle strings into 2 lines?
So instead of
นน(x)มมออ(x)ดด
it would be
นน(x)มม
ออ(x)ดด
The reason I ask is because at the moment we favour for having the to-be-kerned-letter somewhat in the middle and you navigate your caret just up or down from one case to the next. But it’s not necessary to move left or right, which would increase the amount of steps.

2. Oh and what I forgot: if (x) is the currently to be kerned letter, where do the font’s itereated glyphs go in those strings?

Lets say you wanna kern A:
the strings will be sth like:
HHAAAHH
HHBABHH
HHCACHH

So A is your focused letter, HH are the context letters so that you can judge the overall spacing, and A … B … C … from line to line are the iterated glyphs you wanna see the A against.
So I wonder where those go in your proposal?
นน(x)มม needs to become something like นน(y)(x)(y)มม then. Or however you want.

@Mark2Mark
Yea, separated the line could work too!
But I would suggest adding one more letter in each so we can see the rhythm of the space in between straight/ cursive letters better, so it will be:

นนน(y)(x)(y)มมม
อออ(y)(x)(y)ดดด

And sorry last time I didn't mention, I considered (x) as a whole
x = (y)(x)(y)
y= iterated glyphs
