I used "Purisa:style=Medium:size=10" in my .Xdefaults file, merged it
using 'xrdb' and then ran "xemacs -vanilla".  Attached is a Print
Screen dump.

BTW:
1. Options->Font shows Purisa as selected.
2. xfontsel does not list Purisa (or purisa)
3. fc-list shows "Purisa:style=Medium"
4. I did get some warnings from XEmacs about being unable to deduce
bold or italic versions of Purisa. These are expected since bold and
italic versions are not available (and might not even make sense in Thai).
5. I used the Fedora Project RPM "thaifonts-scalable" to obtain Purisa:

$ rpm -qi thaifonts-scalable
