What font I need for Vietnamese

Post by gpn »

I have CJK LaTex package installed in my system. I believe CJK supports Vietnamese fonts. Please tell me what fonts I need to install in addition to get the Vietnamese output.

what makes you think that the cjk fonts would cover vietnamese? --
it's an inflected latin script (like french only more so), not
anything like the "native" chinese/japanese/korean scripts.

that said, there are several fonts that provide coverage. vntex has a
computer modern derivative, and all the tex gyre font families have the
necessary bits.

i'm afraid i've never tried using the fonts, so don't know what
is necessary beyond selecting t5 encoding.
