Vietnamese support

[tommai4881]

Okay looks like your fonts don't have Vietnamese support.

Version 2 may, however, if you're the same person who sent me email, you sent me only examples of upright French style cursive, very difficult to integrate into this font. Best candidate for future Vietnamese support is TT2020, but of course, this issue is marked "help wanted", so if anyone has a source of ZB style script using all the Vietnamese letters like Đđ, Ơơ, etc, it's possible at some future time. Entitlement won't get you anywhere.

Zaner-Bloser, or at least a similar slanted school script, like D'Nealian, a modification of either of those two for Vietnamese could be added to this font, I don't have any examples of Vietnamese script in an italic cursive, it seems Vietnamese is primarily written in French cursive, which makes sense given the history of Vietnam; if there are no examples, then this font will never support it, yes.

[tommai4881]

Since there are no examples of Vietnamese in ZB script. I designed the Vietnamese letters in the ZB script for you

[ctrlcctrlv]

Thanks, I appreciate that :smile:

I will definitely add Vietnamese in v2.

[ctrlcctrlv]

Thanks for your patience @tommai4881.

I finished the design portion and these will be in v2.

[ctrlcctrlv]

fixed in v2

Do most of precomposed Vietnamese letters with diacritics also appear in Latin Extended Additional?

[ctrlcctrlv]

I don't understand the question.

[tommai4881]

I know most of the precomposed Vietnamese letters with tone diacritics are encoded in Latin Extended Additional block, don't you think?

Oh, right. My support is done the same way I support e.g. Ññ. Note e.g. this line of OpenType FEA code:

https://github.com/ctrlcctrlv/FRBAmericanCursive/blob/50363232a7e8a6e22614632b035ec93806124ed2/fea/ccmp.fea#L89

That'd be Ở, but my font doesn't really have a uni1EDE, just a blank placeholder. But you'll never see the placeholder on a compliant shaper due to OpenType ccmp which will replace it with the sequence of O followed by two marks (viethorncomb, U+031B + hookabovecomb, U+0309).
