Thai Government Will Adopt ’’Chulabhorn Likhit’’ as a State Standard Font

The Thai font ’’Chulabhorn Likhit’’, bestowed by Her Royal Highness Princess Chulabhorn Krom Phra Srisavangavadhana, will be adopted as one of the sets of standard fonts for use by state agencies.

Deputy government spokeswoman Traisulee Traisoranakul said the Chulabhorn Likhit font will become one of 14 sets of standard styles of characters.

The Cabinet approved the adoption to mark the princess’s 64th birthday on July 4 and to pay tribute to Her Royal Highness for receiving a PhD degree in visual arts from the Faculty of Painting, Sculpture and Graphic Arts at Silpakorn University.

Ms. Traisulee added that the newly-adopted characters are versatile and they will help preserve the integrity of Thai writing.
