The 2010 update of TH Sarabun PSK, and the version many Thai government offices now use for official letters. Like the other national fonts it sets small for its point size, which is why Thai documents are usually set at 16 pt. Its files carry the GPL with the font exception rather than the DIP/SIPA licence.
The zip holds the original 4 font files exactly as they were published, the licence text and a README with a checksum for each file.

Thai text needs a taller line than Latin to fit the vowels and tone marks above and below: a line height of 1.6 to 1.8 is a good start for paragraphs.
