Thai keyboard with Abiword shows Greek (wrong font)

build 567, q2c26

Open Abiword on a Thai keyboard and then switch to the non-AB (Thai) charactors and you get Greek charactors.

Abiword needs to choose the correct font as default (Loma works well) when language is Thai.

Abiword is not looking for what type of keyboard the laptop has and defaulting to that font. This bug applies to all international laptops.

This seems like it shouldn't be a difficult problem... is it fixable?

Tested in 8.2-760 and the default font was set for dejaVu Serif...a bad choice.

AbiWord's default font is Times New Roman. This default font is specified in the default document template for every language. Since Times New Roman is not available on the XO, I've simply patched all templates to use dejaVu Serif.

If some languages need a different default font, we can simple update the template for that language. Such a fix would be trivial. If this would be a workable solution, then someone would need to come up with a list of default fonts that should be used for a given language.

Actually looking at the keybord layout would be a LOT harder.

Pushing out to 9.1.0, per edmcnierney's request.
