After this I exit the session, turned off the Wifi and reloaded nickel (by going to KSM08 and back). Now the Nickel GUI has only squares instead of characters and opening a book will get the GUI to load (some) font for displaying in GUI but it seems to load the original font which is incapable of displaying special characters.

Have you done anything else prior to rename the fonts folder, like patching the nickel?
there are only two locations that nickel searches for fonts:
/usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.6.2-arm/lib/fonts
/mnt/onboard/fonts
If you have removed all the fonts of /usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.6.2-arm/lib/fonts, then nickel can only use the fonts of /mnt/onboard/fonts (= the fonts folder on the user partition). If you have several side loaded fonts, try removing all but the one that is appropriate for displaying Vietnamese.
