will be used throughout the document.
To allow font switching, it is now recommended to usepackage{fonts-tlwg}. It is
currently equivalent to usepackage{thswitch}, but the latter is deprecated
soon, to allow alternative Thai font packages to come.

i have just released a new version of the uk faq, to CTAN and to the
web.
this release offers 3 new answers, and
20 revised answers
(one answer from the previous release disappeared after its contents
-- a list that had shrunk to one entry -- were merged into another
answer).
for details see the file CHANGES-3.24 in the distribution (the ChangeLog
file, which contains jiffy notes of each editing operation, is also in
the distribution directory).

On Wed, 26 Oct 2011 H.-Martin Münch submitted the
tablefootnote
package.
Summary description: Placing footnotes in tables
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Provides the command ablefootnote{...} to be used in a table environment,
where footnote{...} would not work and would need to be replaced by
footnotemark in the table and footnotetext{...} after the table environment
ended. Additionally the counters for footnote and (when the hyperref package is
used) Hfootnote would need to be adjusted manually. Just using
ablefootnote{...} in the table does all this automatically. Known issues:
sidewaystables (from the rotating package) do not get their footnotes at the
same page. Pages with tables with footnotes, which are rotated with the
(pdf)lscape-package, will break the hyperlinks to the table-footnotes on that
page. When a table with (table)footnotes floates to another place, its
footnotenumbers are not automatically adapted.
