changing default "other language" fonts

Hi,

I am a Thai mac user. I am pretty ok with Lucilda grande as my default system fonts. But when I switch to thai keyboard layout, the default Thai font for it is quite bad. Is there anyway to change this font? (I don't even know what font it is.) This font seems to be the default font for thai characters in all applications too.

Thanks

MacBook Core Duo 2.0GHz, Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I think this font is Lucida Grande (which includes Thai as well as Hebrew, Cyrillic, and Latin). Surely you can tell by opening the Font Panel and switching among them. I think the only way you can choose a different default font is if the particular app you are using has a setting for that. For instance, Nisus Writer Express has preferences that tie keyboard layouts to fonts.
