+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #993701 +++

As part of 973396, I'm preparing the locale-specific CSS for Thai (th) locale. It would be nice if Hebrew localizers could complete the CSS:

@font-face {
  font-family: X-LocaleSpecific-Light;
  font-weight: normal;
  src: /* All */
       /* OS X */
       local(Thonburi-Light)
       /* Windows */
       /* Linux */
       /* Android */
       ;
}

@font-face {
  font-family: X-LocaleSpecific;
  font-weight: normal;
  src: /* All */
       /* OS X */
       local(Thonburi)
       /* Windows */
       /* Linux */
       /* Android */
       ;
}

@font-face {
  font-family: X-LocaleSpecific;
  font-weight: bold;
  src: /* All */
       /* OS X */
       local(Thonburi-Bold)
       /* Windows */
       /* Linux */
       /* Android */
       ;
}
Keng, can you take a look at the locale-specific CSS in my comment 0? I have chosen Thonburi as the best-looking Thai font on Mac OS X. If you can find better fonts on other platforms, please add those in a bug comment. Thanks!

Note that we are choosing locale-specific fonts that go great with the default Open Sans font. There might be some sans serif fonts depending on your platform so please find the best-looking one.
Kohei,

I think Thunburi would be the best default option. But FYI:

Apple used to use "Sukhumvit" heavily on iOS 7 and their website, but fall back to Thonburi on iOS7.1 due to Sukhumvit's readability issue.

Refer to http://www.apple.com/th/ on how Sukhumvit looks like.

Thanks for the info, Keng. Let's go with Thonburi. Do you have any preference on fonts on Windows and Linux?

I'm not sure for Windows and Linux, but Thepitak, cc'd, would be able to help making decision for Linux.
