Problem with Thai language...

[bantolec]

I downloaded Affinity Publisher a couple days ago and have been working very hard to learn and understand how it all works.  I quickly discovered a problem in the way the program handles Thai language text.  In the Thai language there are consonant and vowel characters that follow the text line.  There are additional vowel characters that can appear above or below the line and there are tone marks that also appear above the line.  Sometimes there is the occurrence of of a vowel and a tone mark that occur above the same character.  In this case the vowel should appear above the character on the line and then the tone mark should appear above the tone mark.  I'm attaching two png files of the same word.  The one marked Thai good.png is from a word document.  The one marked Thai bad.png is from Affinity Publisher.

So far I really like your program.  But I am an American living in Thailand helping very poor Thai kids to go to school.  I frequently create teaching documents in the Thai language and need it to work properly.  Thanks for your help in fixing this issue!

To some degree this depends on the font you are using as we don't support all possible positioning features yet ( and it is a lot of work! ). Some acceptable fonts are reported in this thread which may help. I've added your report to the issue regarding this language support
