Added tutorial for Vietnamese Fonts

These require lots of composite glyphs, and stacking diacritics. Designing them to fit above the capital letters without increasing the WinAscent too much takes some skill.

1. Add all of the characters needed with the Transform Script
2. Add guides and increase WinAscent for the first one
3. Recompose the stacking diacritic accents, and make simple again for editing
4. Design the accents to suit the font
5. Recompose the Vietnamese Characters.

Thank you so much. I've always wanted to learn how to do Vietnamese font, but needed a kick start and this is it.

I have added a few more for FontCreator 8 — Getting Started, Adding Kerning, and Editing Data Files

Thanks for the video tuts.

Thanks for the information.
