iOS7 Thai font...

Same engineer as old maps app? The Thai font on the Thai keyboard is standard, unadulterated font. iMessage, folder names, Notes and every other app or instance of writing in Thai, however, uses a bold/italicized/nouveau font that is generally only used in advertising. Shame on you Apple, probably disenfranchised a country, but how can I get the standard font in above apps mentioned the same as it shows on the keyboard?

Standard (keyboard only): อรุณสวัสดิ์ (good morning) , ข้าวเหนียว (sticky rice) <<-- font not supported in iOS7, try to get same characters after "upgrading"

iPhone 5, iOS 7

Yep. The headless Sukhumvit has all the information anyone familiar with Thai should need. Additionally, its spare look allows for more whitespace resulting in a less cluttered appearance. Of course the style also fits nicely with the rest of iOS 7.

Please count me as one who much prefers Sukumvit to Thonbri, especially on my iPhone.

In an ideal world Apple would give us both and let individual users choose their preference. IOt would also be really nice if Sukhumvit were included in (or at least available for) OS X.

Even though I'm Thai, I'm having a hard time reading this Sukhumvit font especially long messages. Hopefully, Apple will realize this issue and come with a better and easy-to-read Thai font.

I am struggling with this too. Is there no way to change the Font?

No. You should use the feedback channel to let Apple know how unhappy you are.

Thanks Tom, feedback sent. It seems so silly not to keep it the same as the keyboard characters.

Sky make sure you send feedback as Tom suggests. The more the better.
