Original issue: Vietnamese glyphs and Please add support for Vietnamese language

[RandomMaerks]

Hey Jacob!
I see that you're looking for help on Vietnamese support. Is it okay if I contribute to the project?
I'm Vietnamese, and I (kinda) know how to use FontForge (just ignore my own repos, they're in a terrible state right now)

[jacobxperez]

@RandomMaerks Yes!! one of my aims with this project is to complete the Vietnamese language, let me start a branch just for you

[jacobxperez]

@RandomMaerks The Vietnamese branch is ready

[jacobxperez]

@RandomMaerks Let me know if you need anything else

[RandomMaerks]

Thanks for the preparation!
Progress might be slow since I'm incredibly busy this month, but I'll make sure to keep it up-to-date.

[RandomMaerks]

@RandomMaerks Let me know if you need anything else

I might have a couple of questions when I'm working on the fonts, but I think I'm good for now

[jacobxperez]

@RandomMaerks alright, thanks for your support, I'll be glad to answer any question

A little preview of the Vietnamese character set (AHP Regular):

[jacobxperez]

@RandomMaerks Wow!! this is absolutely beautiful!! I love it.

[RandomMaerks]

Vietnamese characters and kerning have been implemented for AH Regular and Italic.
The source files have been uploaded to the Vietnamese branch

[jacobxperez]

@RandomMaerks Wow!! It looks beautiful. I love it

[jacobxperez]

@RandomMaerks Hey how are you doing and thanks for everything the Vietnamese update is looking awesome. I am just wondering if you have any updates for the Bold and Bold Italic style.

[RandomMaerks]

Oh sorry for not updating you on the progress D:
I'm working on Bold, and everything is almost done. I just need to add kerning to the Vietnamese glyphs.

I might have more time to work on it tomorrow. I'll try my best to keep you updated 👍

[jacobxperez]

@RandomMaerks Thats awesome thanks, no worries take your time

A preview of Vietnamese glyphs (AHP Bold - with kerning)

The original 'breve' mark is really thin and doesn't match with other marks, so I thickened it slightly and made it a bit wider.

@jacobxperez hope you like the change

[RandomMaerks]

Also the change in question:

[jacobxperez]

@RandomMaerks Wow!! Yes they look perfect 👍

[RandomMaerks]

AHP Bold & Bold Italic are all finished. Sources and generated fonts have been uploaded to the vietnamese branch.

Here are some examples that I made:

@jacobxperez if you find any problems, please let me know

@RandomMaerks Wow this is amazing you went beyond any expectations. It was one of my goals to add Vietnamese language support to Atkinson, thanks it's perfect the typography looks beautiful. I will start preparing everything for v1.4.0 and release it later this week.

[RandomMaerks]

just under two years ago, i used the original atkinson hyperlegible fonts for my assignment. i complained that it didn't have vietnamese glyphs back then

can't believe i'd be the one to do the job two years later

[jacobxperez]

@RandomMaerks That's awesome, me too I got frustrated that google wasn't doing anything to update the original typeface so I took it upon my self, to do it. Your are always welcome to contribute to this project, thanks.
