Subject: bug#2286: 23.0.60; Emacs.app cannot display Thai characters with vowels

Built Emacs.app from source (via MacPorts) and it can no longer
correctly display Thai characters.

1. Switch to anything other than fundamental-mode.
2. Type (or copy) Thai text with vowels, e.g. ไก่จิกเด็กตายบนปากโอ่ง
3. Characters with vowels all mysteriously disappeared.

This used to work on Emacs.app rc3 build posted on http://emacs-app.sf.net/.
Don't know if this is a related issue, but Japanese font substitution
is also wrong (font look funny, unlike in the rc3 build.)
