Hey! Cool! This info about switching to UTF-8 really opened my eyes. It is
a complex world we live in. I really appreciate that note.
-- And, frankly, it feels exciting that even "plain text" inside a CSV can
display lao script... as opposed to it appearing inside word or excel,
which seems "less robust" because it somehow feels that it could be the app
that is applying some font or process after the fact, where the "plain
text" feels like it's closer to system basics.
-- Also, I was a little surprised to see that when I made that UTF-8
adjustment, then Lao text even appears ok when the file is opened on a
computer that I did NOT install the lao fonts on! I guess at least a basic
Lao alphabet is built natively into Windows 7? Hmm...
Thanks much, we will see if my font experiences create more questions later
