Well, yes and no.
"apt search font | grep viet" gives me no matches on this Debian system.
I've been frustrated by this before, and I've resorted to saying "apt
install fonts-*' or something, which isn't really ideal, so if Emacs
could provide some guidance here (without us having to maintain a
never-ending list of fonts), I think that would be helpful.
I just looked at the HELLO file on this system, and these are the fonts
that Emacs has chosen (there's no tofu in the buffer):
Unifont
DejaVu Sans Mono
Various things from the Noto Serif/Noto Sans family of fonts -- I think
they're all from the fonts-noto-core and fonts-noto-extra packages
Symbola
FreeSerif
Plus daewoo, for Korean.
So that'd be just about all the fonts (and possibly packages) we'd have
to mention on the font help page.
