Encountering a file with unreadable text due to font errors can be exasperating. Fortunately, all it takes is installing the complete Unikey font package to resolve such issues.
If you haven't installed Unikey on your computer yet, you can download it from the website: http://unikey.vn/vietnam/#nav4. Note: Depending on your computer, choose the appropriate version.
To fix font errors in Word and Excel, follow these steps:
- Step 1: Determine the original faulty font and its corresponding character encoding in Unikey.
Currently, the two most commonly used fonts are Times New Roman and Vn.Time. Identify the font and character encoding:
Font chữ |
Bảng mã |
Time New Roman |
Unicode |
Vn.Time, Vn.TimeH |
TCVN (ABC) |
- Step 2: Use Unikey for conversion purposes.
+ Select the entire text affected by the font error, then press the Ctrl + C key combination.



+ The Unikey Toolkit dialog box appears -> Select the Source and Destination character sets -> Click Convert.
* Source: The character set corresponding to the original font.
* Destination: The character set corresponding to the desired font.

In case you haven't Copied -> an Error is reported -> select OK and retry from Step 1.

If you've Copied before clicking convert, you'll receive a Successfully converted RTF clipboard message -> Press OK -> Close.

Return to your Word or Excel document and press Ctrl + V to paste the successfully converted text content.

Best of luck to all of you!!!
