As far as I know, there is no way to embed a font inside a Kobo dictionary, for the reader/app to use it when displaying the dictionary definition.

Hence, all you have is the default "Kobo" font: if it does not have glyphs for certain (or even all) Vietnamese characters, you are out of luck.

(Maybe custom firmwares do have the possibility of changing the dictionary font --- I do not know for sure, try searching the Kobo Developer part of this forum.)

I have tried reaching the Kobo devs several times, asking them for the dictionary format documentation and official support for custom dictionaries, but with zero results.

Is the dictionary linked above still usable? Would you like me to list it in the index in the first post?
