showing what it's like when I type

For several fonts that are in Thai, the letter seems to go from right to left.
I've attached some screen cap to demonstrate it. You can see the text are falling off the page when they are supposed to be aligned-left. I also select all by ctrl+A to highlight where the text are actually supposed to be.

The fonts in question that I've verified are having the same problems are:
TH Baijam
TH Fah kwang
TH Chakra Petch
TH Charm of AU
TH Koho

FYI, the problem also exist on another computer of mine (Win 10 X64). This computer where I'm making this report is Win 7 X64
Comment 1 V Stuart Foote 2018-11-18 16:29:46 UTC
Please create a sample document with text passages/paragraphs defined in each of the problem fonts. Also include some that format correctly. 

Then attach the sample document to this issue to upload it.

You also could try to create and attach the sample with the fonts embedded. 
Done from the File -> Properties -> Font tab to check box the "Embed fonts in the document"

But often it ends up we will need to locate the actual problem font(s) to check formatting issues of the font design.

Bug sample of problemati font in ODT doc

I've attached a document with passages in the fonts in question.
I've also embedded the font with the document, and included a link to download them, and their Wikipedia page.
