The Nom Na Tong font was originally developed under the aegis of the Vietnamese
Nôm Preservation Foundation http://www.nomfoundation.org, established in 1999.
The font was developed both as a definitive source for proposals to encode the
Vietnamese Hán-Nôm script in Unicode and to promote access to the heritage of
works written in that script. The font currently contains over 26,000 glyphs,
and represents the collective work of scholars, software engineers, and other
experts. It continues to be the reference font for the on-going work of
encoding Hán-Nôm in Unicode. The foundation dissolved at the end of 2018. Now
the font is being provided as an open source project in the hope that a
community of those interested in the preservation of the Hán-Nôm script will
continue to maintain and extend it.
