           Summary: Extend Mono range to cover Vietnamese
           Product: DejaVu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Mono Sans
        AssignedTo: dejavu-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: clytie at riverland.net.au


Please extend the DejaVu Mono Sans range to cover Vietnamese, as DejaVu Sans
does.

More and more, I am having to translate text which will be displayed as
monospaced (comments and instructions in code, for example), and that means we
can't use DejaVu for that text.

We have to use Free Mono, which is not of high quality, or our own URWVN mono
font, which is not distributed by default.

The Vietnamese glyph range is all over the place on the Unicode plane(s): not
in one tidy bundle. But since you support it in DejaVu Sans, you know where it
is.

I hope this is a reasonable request. I am keen to support the user of DejaVu
fonts in all the projects for which I translate, but currently, I can't
recommend DejaVu for monospaced text.

Thankyou for all your good work in improving the display of Vietnamese in
DejaVu Sans.
