Fonts-TLWG (formerly ThaiFonts-Scalable) is a collection of Thai
scalable fonts available in free licenses. Its goal is to provide
fonts that conform to existing standards and recommendations, so
that it can be a reference implementation.
So, the fonts have to be modified from their original versions as
needed, according to following references:
* Recommendation for Thai font design, from the National Font Project
* Adobe Glyph naming convention
* Microsoft Typography
* Common practice for Thai Windows fonts
