				Foreign Characters & Fonts Vietnamese
			 
			
			
			Ok, I've manage to embed and read several "other" foreign characters and fonts. 
		
	
		
		
			Usually I follow these embedding instructions:TXT.rtf But now I'm having a hellofa time getting this to work: vpstest.epub It's Unicode UTF-8 etc. I've added some code to try and make it work. The font is called: VPS Times The font looks like: Ba nghiåp l°ng thanh tŒnh And should have accent marks etc. I've also used TransType Pro to convert the font to a TTF, but I could also convert it to a OTF if it would help. IDEAS?

			Actually, it could be a TTF as well.
