The Font Test dialog is an easy way of showing most of a font. Especially for fonts which support complex scripts, it is wise to test your font with other applications, like Word, InDesign, web browser(s), etc. If the font works there, then you can safely ignore the results in the Font Test dialog.

Can you attach the font project to the forum?
I am not familiar with Thai fonts, but I assume that one uses anchors to align the tone marks with the base glyphs.
Does it work correctly in the Preview Toolbar?

Thanks for answering. I think test ttf function is not convenience for thai font testing.
