Hi, Benoit!

Sorry for the late reply: I somehow overlooked this report.

All the glyphs are there in the CVS version. A lot of work has been done on Vietnamesse in the past year, a new release should improve things a lot.

See attached the output of

pango-view --font="freemono bold oblique" Viet.txt -o Viet.png

on my system, which is using the latest CVS version.

(file #19376)

Most of the glyphs are fine with non-3.0 glyphs, but having the glyphs added to 4.1 and 5.1 in small unixxxx glyph names (e.g. u051a) is a fist in the face of FontForge.

Hi,

I found that all specific Vietnamese characters with diacritics signs are missing from FreeMonoBoldOblique.ttf, both upper and lower case, while they are present in the other variants and in Sans and Serif.

Here is a list of all Vietnamese characters with diacritics signs, if this makes easier testing (not all of these are missing):

I can provide OpenDocument and XSL-FO samples if this can be of any help. Unfortunately, I can't design these missing characters myself.

Thank you for these fonts by the way: great work!

Benoit
