[SOLVED] New Installation with dwm don't show Thai language correctly

Hello, I am new to artix so I am not sure where is the problem.

I found arch wiki page for font mentioning installed fonts for a particular language.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fonts#List_installed_fonts_for_a_particular_language

So I try:
Code: [Select]
$ fc-list :lang=th
but it get no output.

Does it mean several fonts that I installed so far not support thai glyph or unicode?
And if that is the case, Is there anyone know what font to use to support unicode or thai glyph?

List of fonts I installed so far:
Code: [Select]
$ fc-list
result. https://pastebin.com/YwvcuEqe

Here is other information I am not sure it is related to my problem or not
Code: [Select]
$ localedef --list-archive
en_US.utf8
ja_JP
ja_JP.eucjp
ja_JP.ujis
ja_JP.utf8
japanese
japanese.euc
th_TH.utf8
Code: [Select]
$ cat dwm/config.h | grep fonts
static const char *fonts[]          = { "monospace:size=12", "DejaVu Sans:size=12"};

Hi Ambie,
No, I didn't install any of Tai-Kadai fonts.
and after I try install ttf-google-thai with yay, nothing seem to change.

or Do I have to do anything else after install it ?
or Any command to run to check if the system detect the font that I install from yay?
