have you tried without any custom settings?  without doing anything in
my `.podiumrc' (and with no `.swishrc'), i imported both a thai and a
korean file (both encoded in UTF-8) via `File | Import | Test Items'.
i then did `File | Reread' (owed to a post-import snag), followed by
`Browse | Test Items'.  the results seems okay to me; see attachment?

font settings are in `podium.tcl', which is read when the [incr tsdb()]
podium window is created, i.e. for testing it should suffice to run

  (tsdb :podium)

after making changes to that file.  but, ideally, i think there should
be no need for local customization.  Tk is supposed to do all the font
selection (a lot like Pango i think).
