Character Sets
The DIGITAL UNIX operating system software supports the Thai Industrial Standard
(TIS) character set TIS 620-2533.
The TIS 620 character set is a national standard for a primary set of graphic characters for
Thai information interchange. It was first published by the Thai Industrial Standards
Institute, Ministry of Industry, Thailand in 1986 (Buddhist year 2529) and was revised in
1990 (Buddhist year 2533). It defines 89 characters.
1.1 Consonants

Codesets
The DIGITAL UNIX operating system software supports the following Thai codeset:
•
TACTIS (Thai API Consortium/Thai Industrial Standard)
The TACTIS codeset, shown in Figure 2-1, is composed of the ASCII (ISO 646-1991)
character set and the TIS 620-2533 character set. This is an 8-bit codeset with characters
assigned values from 0x0 to 0xFF.
DIGITAL UNIX Technical Reference for Using Thai Features 2–1
Figure 2-1: TACTIS Codeset
2–2 DIGITAL UNIX Technical Reference for Using Thai Features
2.1 Character Classification
To facilitate the processing of characters encoded in the TACTIS codeset, such as
displaying Thai characters and input-sequence checking, characters are classified into
several categories:
•
Control Characters (CTRL). Nondisplayable control characters can be used to control
output or for data communication. The 66 control characters are: 00-1F, 7F, 80-9F and
FF.
•
Consonants (CONS). The 44 Thai consonants defined in TIS 620-2533.
•
Vowels (-V)
•
•
–
Leading vowels (LV). The five leading vowels defined in TIS 620-2533.
–
Following vowels (FV). The six following vowels defined in TIS 620-2533.
–
Below vowels (BV). The two below vowels defined in TIS 620-2533.
–
Above vowels (AV). The five above vowels defined in TIS 620-2533.
–
Tone marks (TONE). The four tone marks defined in TIS 620-2533.
Diacritics (-D)
–
Above diacritics (AD). The four above diacritics defined in TIS 620-2533.
–
Below diacritic (BD). The below diacritic defined in TIS 620-2533.
Noncomposibles (NON). Those characters that do not fit into the other four character
classes. This group of characters cannot be composed with above vowels, below
vowels, tone marks, above diacritics, and below diacritic. There are 119
noncomposible characters divided into seven groups:
–
Graphic characters. The 94 graphic characters defined in ISO 646-1991. They
include:
*
52 English alphabetic characters (A-Z, a-z)
*
10 digits (0-9)
*
32 special characters: 21-2F, 3A-3F and 7B-7E
–
Space. The character code is 20.
–
No-Break space. The character code is A0.
–
Thai digits. The ten Thai digits defined in TIS 620-2533.
–
Thai special characters. The six Thai special characters defined in TIS 620-2533.
DIGITAL UNIX Technical Reference for Using Thai Features 2–3
–
Word separator. The word separator defined in TIS 620-2533.
–
Reserved code points. Six code points are reserved for future use.
To meet some special requirements of Thai input and output, some character classes, such
as FV, BV, AV, and AD, are further divided into subclasses. For details, see Table 2–1.

2.2 Character Levels
Characters defined in the TACTIS codeset can also be classified according to character
levels. There are five character levels:
•
Nondisplayable level includes all control characters in the CTRL category.
•
Base level includes all characters in the NON, CONS, FV and LV categories.
Characters at this level are drawn on baseline.
•
Above level includes all characters in the AD3, AV1, AV2 and AV3 categories.
Characters at this level are drawn directly above final consonants.
•
Below level includes all characters in the BV1, BV2 and BD categories. Characters at
this level are drawn directly below final consonants.
•
Top level includes all characters in the TONE, AD1 and AD2 categories. Characters
at this level are drawn on top of above characters. If above level characters do not
exist, top level characters can be drawn at the above level. Characters at this level also
indicate the end of character cells.

Locales
The DIGITAL UNIX operating system software supports a single Thai locale that has two
names:
•
th_TH
•
th_TH.TACTIS
If you are using DECwindows Motif, you can choose the locale from the Language menu
of the Session Manager. If you are using CDE, you can choose the locale from the
language menu on the CDE login screen.

Local Language Devices
4.1 Terminals
The DIGITAL UNIX operating system software supports the VT382-T Thai terminal. Thai
DECterm is the emulation of the VT382-T Thai terminal, which provides compatible
functionalities for running Thai character-cell terminal applications. For the details of Thai
DECterm, see Chapter 9, Other Thai Features.
Character-cell terminal applications can process the Thai locale properly through
DIGITAL UNIX run-time libraries, such as the C library and the curses library, with the
information defined in the terminfo and termcap databases. To set up the environment to
process in the Thai locale, you should set the TERM environment variable to vt382t by
entering the following command:
% setenv TERM vt382t
4.2 Printers
The DIGITAL UNIX operating system software supports the following dot matrix Thai
printer:
•
Epson LQ1050+
The following PostScript printers can be configured for Thai printing:
•
DEClaser 1152
•
DEClaser 5100 with font disk (LN09X-HD)
•
PrintServer 17
The generic wwpsof filter can be used to print Thai characters on any PostScript printer.
The print filters in Table 4-1 are provided to support Thai printers.

5.1 DECwindows Fonts
The DIGITAL UNIX operating system software provides the Thai DECwindows fonts
described in Table 5-1 in various sizes for 75 dpi (dot-per-inch) display devices.

Mandatory font
These mandatory fonts are available when you install the Thai variant. In addition to these
Thai fonts, several miscellaneous screen fonts are provided in the Thai DECterm and
toolkit.
No 100 dpi Thai fonts are provided in the kit. To allow you to use the Thai fonts on 100
dpi display devices, a font alias file is provided to map the 75 dpi font names to the
respective 100 dpi font names.
5.1.1 XLFD Font Names
You must specify the DECwindows font names in XLFD (X Logical Font Description)
format in your application programs or in the application resource files. You can specify
wildcards (*) for any fields in the font names.
You can use the following font names for either 75 dpi or 100 dpi display devices. To
explicitly state the display resolution, you can specify 75 or 100 in the X- and Y-resolution
fields, that is, the asterisks in the following XLFD names.

To override the default font list of a Thai DECwindows application, you should specify the
ISO Latin-1 and Thai fonts as well as the Thai fontset when creating widget instances. For
details, see Writing Software for the International Market.

Table 5-3.

These Thai outline fonts can be used for:
•
Printing on PostScript printers. For details see Chapter 8, Thai Printing Support.
•
Displaying through the R6 X Windows System Type 1 rasterizer. To use these outline
fonts, you must add the $I18NPATH/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1UPC directory
to your font path with the following command:
% xset +fp $I18NPATH/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1UPC
•
Displaying through Display PostScript. You can view PostScript files with Thai
characters using the CDA Viewer or through the Display PostScript extension.
5.2 XLFD Font Names of Thai Outline Fonts
To use the Thai outline fonts through the Type 1 rasterizer, you can specify the font names
in XLFD format in your application programs or in the application resource files, just as
you do with ordinary DECwindows bitmap fonts.
To specify the XLFD font name of an outline font, you can replace the fields currently
marked with 0 (zero) with the following information:
1.
Field 1 — The font height in number of dots. Usually, an asterisk is entered in this
field.
2.
Field 2 — The font height in point size. For example, you can enter 240 to specify a
24 point font.
5–4 DIGITAL UNIX Technical Reference for Using Thai Features
3.
Fields 3 and 4 — The X- and Y-resolution. Usually, they have the value of 75 or 100.
4.
Field 5 — The average font width in point size. Usually, an asterisk is put in this field.
For example, if you want to use a 48 point font of the AngsanaUPC family in bold-italic
style for a 100 dpi display device, you would specify:
-upc-angsana-bold-i-normal--*-480-100-100-p-*-tis620.2533-1

6.2 Keyboard Indicator
If you are using XDM, the keyboard indicator (kb_indicator) is automatically
activated by the session manager and controls the compose lamp of the Thai keyboards.
To start the keyboard indicator, the following command has been added to Automatic
Startup menu of Session Manager:
"/usr/bin/X11/kb_indicator
-map"
Compose status is displayed in the keyboard indicator window. A button in the keyboard indicator
window controls the compose mode like the compose key on the keyboard.
If you are using CDE, you can manually execute the preceding command, or add it to your
personal profile.
