The public agencies were ordered to use these fonts, especially TH Sarabun PSK, in their state papers. On 7 September 2010, the Council of Ministers officially announced the thirteen fonts as the public fonts, naming them the "national fonts". The fonts are also from the private companies which monopolise the rights over them, so we cannot use them as much as we should.". The Ministry was quoted as saying: ".Various fonts are now used among the public agencies, that's why the state papers have never become standard. The competition was part of the "Standard Fonts for Thai Public Sectors" Project (โครงการฟอนต์มาตรฐานราชการไทย) proposed by the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology. The competition was organised by Abhisit Vejjajiva's Council of Ministers, with a view to replacing all existing fonts the Thai Government had bought from the private sector, including Microsoft's Angsana New, Browalia New, Cordia New, and EucrosiaUPC, which were extensively used at that time, with fonts created by Thai nationals.
