Yes, I've set the RemapGlyphsMasterSwitch as per Bill Carpenter's
advice, and have uncommented the remapping line I previously put
in my source copy. Things seem to work as expected now.

Thanks for the encouragement. :-) Yes, I've tried to use Thai in
Abiword again, as I used to do in some old versions. But it has
changed so much now.
Bug #1850, #1857 and #1858 are what I found relating to Thai, before
this remapping issue, which I feel the need of discussion. :-)
