You probably can't. As you may know, each writing system (Roman,
Cyrillic, Hebrew, Greek, etc) is represented by many different
and incompatible character sets. We must put code into Kermit
software to translate between them. Thus Thai terminal emulation
is probably not a simple matter of loading a Thai font, since the
host is likely to use a different encoding than the PC for Thai.
In any case, Windows 95 Console applications (such as Kermit 95)
are forbidden to allow you the freedom to load new fonts. Don't
ask us why, ask Microsoft (Windows NT does not have the same
restrictions).
There will be more flexibility in this area when the GUI version
of Kermit 95 is released.
