With help of the people on the Unicode mailing list (the most
important contribution was sent to me off-list), I've now fixed all
these issues, and I'm marking this bug done.
[Message part 3 (message/rfc822, inline)]
language/tai-viet.el contains some encoding errors, apparently the
conversion from the temporary PUA encoding was erroneous. I've tried to
fix it by comparing the glyphs from the "Unified Thai (20.02.2006)" font
with the "Tai Heritage Pro" font from sil.org, but some characters still
look wrong (ꪁ ꪅ ꪰ) when compared with the version from VietThai-0.9, and
one character () is still encoded in the temporary encoding where I
cannot find a replacement.
Additionally, the composition support was never updated.
Andreas.
