Hi, Chris, Besides the scripts you mention, there is also Tai Tham as Richard mentioned.
In theory, writing a utility to convert Pali written in any of those scripts to any one of the other scripts should not be too difficult but ... : * Modern phonetically-based Lao lacks some of the traditional letters that are still preserved in Thai and other scripts. * At least as far as Tai Tham goes, it seems that Tai Tham spelling is not consistent with Central Thai spelling when it comes to Sanskrit and Pali-derived words ... I don't really know much about this -- just my own limited observations. Probably somebody else here like Richard Wordingham or Martin Hosken knows a lot more about this than I do ... ... so maybe in reality it is not so simple to do?
