Hi Kim-Anh,
I have investigated the problem with the Vietnamese fonts a bit, and I
think it comes down to the use of a bad font in the PDFs.

I have experimented with specifying a font both through the pom and
the custom XSL used to transform the Docbook source to PDF, as well as
embedding the font within the PDF itself. I tried with a font called
FreeSans and it looks no better than before. It seems that this should
work, but it seems not to.  The use of  Microsoft Arial results in
something like the attachement, which seems to look better but I have
no idea if it is correct.

Perhaps you could advise on a specific font which should be used, and
if possible one which is  free and possible to distribute?

http://www.wazu.jp/gallery/Fonts_Vietnamese.html

provides a list.

Best regards,
Jason
