I made dsl-thai.dsl extension for Thai fonts adding. You can use Thai bit map fonts form < Debian Packages >. I'm using Thai-Manop-Font and Thai-Nectec-Font. It works very well. Please read my post < here >

I need more information on your DSL using. Are you using DSL Live-CD or Frugal or HDD Install?

You need a place for an myDSL extension: HDD (hda3) or USB PenDrive, and using boot option:-

dsl mydsl=hda3 restore=hda3 <HDD> ... or ... dsl mydsl=sda1 restore=sda1 <USB Pendrive>

In this case, that means dsl-thai.dsl and dsl-thai.dsl.md5.txt are in /dev/hda3/optional <HDD> or /dev/sda1/optional <USB PenDrive>

Please send an E-mail to me. I can send the extension that I made back to you. It is Alfa version only. You can help me for testing and improving it.
