Nonfree Fonts

VnTeX also provides Vietnamese support for URW Classico and URW Garamond. These fonts were released under the AFPL (Aladdin Free Public License) and thus cannot be freely distributed.

TeX Live and MacTeX users can install them with getnonfreefonts, see https://www.tug.org/fonts/getnonfreefonts/.

If your TeX distribution doesn't support getnonfreefonts you can download https://ctan.org/tex-archive/install/fonts/vntex-nonfree.tds.zip. Please note that it's not sufficient to extract the zip file.

Font Samples

Samples of fonts provided by vntex and vntex-nonfree are available at http://vntex.sourceforge.net/fonts/samples/.
