Unofficial pre-release of Fira Code with full Vietnamese support, built from my pull request tonsky/FiraCode#1701. That PR resolves #185, the issue I opened more than ten years ago.

The PR is not merged yet, and the last official release (6.2) dates from December 2021. Until an official release ships, you can use these fonts. Once it does, please switch back to the official one.

Updated with the changes from tonsky's review. Stacked accents (Ấ Ầ Ẩ Ẫ Ắ …) are no longer compressed: the circumflex or breve stays exactly where it is in  / Ă, and the tone mark sits above it, going over the ascender line. The dot below now matches the i dot in every weight. If you downloaded an earlier version, please reinstall.

Preview

Black glyphs are new; grey glyphs already existed in Fira Code.

Regular

Fira Code Vietnamese, Regular

Bold

Fira Code Vietnamese, Bold

What's included

  • Every Vietnamese letter (U+1EA0–U+1EF9, Ơ ơ Ư ư) in all six weights: Light, Regular, Retina, Medium, SemiBold, Bold.
  • The combining hook above, dot below and horn (U+0309, U+0323, U+031B).
  • The dong sign ₫ (U+20AB).
  • Vietnamese letters for the cv01 (single-storey a) and cv03–cv06 (i variants) character variants.
  • Ligatures and all other features are unchanged.

Downloads

File Contents
FiraCode-7.0-Vietnamese-TTF.zip Static TTF, 6 weights. Recommended for desktop (macOS, Windows, Linux)
FiraCode-7.0-Vietnamese-OTF.zip Static OTF, 6 weights
FiraCode-7.0-Vietnamese-Variable.zip Variable TTF (weight 300–700)
FiraCode-7.0-Vietnamese-WOFF-WOFF2.zip Web fonts with fira_code.css

Installing

  • Remove your current Fira Code first. These fonts use the same family name ("Fira Code"), so having both installed can make apps pick the old one.
  • Install only one of TTF, OTF or Variable. They share the family name too.
  • Restart your editor or terminal after installing.

Notes

  • The version is 7.0 because Fira Code's master branch is already at 7.0 (unreleased upstream), and the fonts report "Version 7.000".
  • This is an unofficial build. Please report problems with the Vietnamese glyphs on the PR, not to the upstream maintainers.
  • License: SIL Open Font License 1.1 (included in every zip). The hook above and horn are adapted from Fira Sans, which is also OFL.
