Showcase
This is how Thai text looks when there is no tracking.
When the designer applies tracking equally to all the characters, it results in incorrect display for Thai text. The upper/lower marks are off from the base character, which makes it seem like the spacings between letters are not even.
The script fixes the problem by removing trackings on the characters preceding the upper/lower marks
Bonus! Adding Actual Spaces
If you want actual spaces between text, you can do it here. The spaces will be inserted at the right point in Thai text. Please note that this method with break the line-break detection for the text.
