[Fedora-i18n-list] Thai not working

Hello,

We have an internet cafe here in Chiang Rai and run
rh8.0. We like it. I'm trying to keep up and have
installed Fedora Core 1 on on of our machines and home
to promulgate the installation to all via sisuite,
once it's debugged.

The problem is with Thai. I installed using American
English, but installed support for all languages. 

Yet when I try to chose thai at the gdm login prompt,
only the UTF-8 place holder characters show up.

I wrestled with similar problems with rh8.0, and was
able to "fix" some machines and not others, though the
installations seemed indentical to me.

I would really like to get Thai working on all my
machines, as you may well imagine.

Any and all help appreciated.

I have installed :
 thai-fonts-ttf-0.1-alt2.src.rpm   
 thai-ttf-0.2.1-4.noarch.rpm      
 thaixfonts-1.2.4-1.noarch.rpm
 PlaDaoFont-1.0-250102.i386.rpm

[root at ws7 root]# cat /etc/sysconfig/i18n
LANG="th_TH.UTF-8"
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"

[root at ws7 root]# cat /etc/X11/XF86Config
# XFree86 4 configuration created by pyxf86config

modify the
