In that case there is probably nothing you can do without patching the firmware. While it is possible that a patch could be made to change the font-family used in each place that could contain Vietnamese text, that is likely to be a big job and would have to be redone each time the firmware is updated. I can't personally commit the time needed to do this though, I think it would just be too much work unless there is a way to automate the process.

The only other way I can think of would be to find a way to bypass the encryption on the system fonts. That would open up a lot of possibilities and make many things easier if it could be done, but I don't know where to start with that.

I think that font could be Georgia. I tried to sideload customized Georgia (Arial renamed) but it didn't work, the system still uses built-in Georgia font.
