Well, I want to register this encoding! I've already read the discussion in latex bugs 2071, I've also fetches the files --- the author (Binh To-Thanh) suggests the same encoding which is the defacto standard, especially for fonts. > > It would be good, if possible if only one encoding for vietnamese was > registered. there is another proposal: > > http://www.cogs.susx.ac.uk/cgi-bin/ltxbugs2html?pr=latex/2071 > > I do not know how this compares to your proposed `OT5' > encoding. Binh did not create the font encoding files correctly. After finishing it would be a `T5' encoding. As I've written in my previous mail I'm not sure which characters of the T1 encoding should be overwritten. Please check my files. Werner
