Vietnamese Fonts

 

You need to have Vietnamese fonts installed in your systems in order to be able to see Vietnamese characters.  Fonts are designed specifically for each character set and are generally not interchangeable.  For instance, if you use VISCII charset, you need VISCII fonts.  If you use VPS charset, you need VPS fonts.  If you use ABC character set, you need ABC fonts.  Unicode supports characters from many languages, including Vietnamese.  Thus if you use Vietnamese in Unicode charset, you must use Unicode fonts.
